SoFi Stadium Causes Slip and Fall Accidents in Rainy Conditions

Los Angeles, CA – On Monday, January 9, 2023, SoFi Stadium hosted the NCAA championship game. It was raining during the game and gaps in the roof caused rain to enter the stadium. Many fans walked on surfaces covered in rain, slipped, fell, and were injured.

According to reports, not all surfaces that could become wet have a non-slip surface coating, causing slip and fall accidents to occur when it rains at SoFi Stadium.
