Hard Rock Stadium

Located in Miami Gardens, Hard Rock Stadium can be found at 347 Don Shula Drive. The official capacity is approximately 65,000 with nearly 28,000 parking spaces.

The stadium was opened in August 1987 and was originally called Joe Robbie Stadium after the Dolphin’s owner who financed it. It was the first privately funded multiple purpose stadium built in the US.

Since opening, the stadium has hosted numerous events including:

  • Miami Dolphin football games
  • MLB Florida Marlins games
  • College football games
  • Bowl games
  • Miami Open Tennis
  • Soccer
  • WrestleMania
  • Concerts

Naming rights for the stadium have changed over the years. In August 2017, it was renamed Hard Rock Stadium.

Injuries at Hard Rock Stadium

Injuries at Hard Rock Stadium can be similar to any large sporting venue. The Miami personal injury lawyers at Wolfson & Leon have helped injured people in their claims against all of the major venues in Florida including:

  • AAA (American Airlines Arena)
  • BBT Center
  • Knight Center
  • Marlins Park
  • Lockhart Stadium

In some cases, it is difficult to nail down the responsible party in a stadium personal injury. Aside from the stadium itself, any number of sub-contractors may have some responsibility for the mechanism of your injury. To discover all responsible and potential defendants, an extensive investigation is warranted. Your Miami personal injury attorney will need to review court dockets for other similar accidents; request public records under Florida Statute 119; review property records; and thoroughly investigate all building permits and notices of code violations.

Once all potential defendants are identified, then each is placed on notice. The notice will advise that you were injured at Hard Rock Stadium due to that party’s negligence. The notice will also include an essential tool in any personal injury litigation. That is – the preservation of evidence letter or paragraph. The potential defendant is advised that your personal injury claim is pending and they should not destroy or alter any evidence such as any video tape of the incident or the specific area (steps for example). If they intend to change anything it is requested that they contact your attorney first. If they fail to preserve or alter evidence after receiving notice, that defendant may be subject to sanctions once a lawsuit is filed.

Typical preservation language can be:

I am asking that you preserve, secure and keep in an unaltered fashion the video tapes and surveillance films of the premises on that date and for the thirty days prior to date of accident. I am also asking that you preserve those surveillance films through this date. The undersigned will make proper requests for them under the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. Should you erase or destroy those films after having had knowledge of a claim on the date of accident said actions will become the subject matter at an evidentiary hearing and possible subject to sanctions by the court. I am asking that you not destroy any evidence in this matter inasmuch as you now have had knowledge since the day of the accident and injury as concerns the captioned individual.
