NORTH CAROLINA WOMAN SUES LOS ANGELES DODGERS AFTER INJURY CAUSED BY BUZZBALL CONTAINER AT GAME 🚨

In a lawsuit filed this week, a North Carolina woman has taken legal action against the Los Angeles Dodgers for negligence after suffering an injury at a game in August 2025. The incident occurred when she was struck on the shoulder by a BuzzBall alcoholic drink container, which is sold at the Dodgers’ stadium in a distinctive circular-shaped container.

The woman, who is representing herself in the lawsuit, claims that the drink container was either thrown, dropped, or propelled from an elevated seating or standing area above where she was sitting. According to the lawsuit, the container hit her directly in the shoulder with significant force, causing immediate pain, bruising, and swelling, as well as impairing the normal use of her arm. The injury is said to have disrupted her planned family vacation to Los Angeles and Disneyland, depriving her of the intended enjoyment of the trip.

Emotional Distress and Impact on Family

The lawsuit details not only the physical injuries sustained by the woman but also the emotional toll on her family. She asserts that her two young children, who were present at the game, experienced fear, shock, and emotional distress upon witnessing the incident. The suit paints a picture of how the accident affected not only her physical well-being but also the well-being of her family, who were left shaken by the sudden injury.

Allegations of Negligence and Premises Liability

In addition to the negligence claims, the woman also accuses the Los Angeles Dodgers of premises liability. The lawsuit argues that the team should have known that serving alcohol in containers capable of being thrown or falling from elevated seating areas created a foreseeable risk of harm to spectators. The plaintiff further alleges that the Dodgers failed to take reasonable steps to remedy or warn spectators about the dangerous condition posed by the BuzzBall containers, which are sold in the stadium.

Seeking Damages and Trial by Jury

The woman’s legal filing outlines that she has suffered physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment due to the incident. It also mentions past and future medical expenses incurred as a result of the injury. As such, she is seeking unspecified damages for the harm caused and has demanded a trial by jury on all issues that are triable in the case.

The lawsuit has brought attention to potential safety concerns in sports venues, especially regarding the types of containers used to serve alcoholic beverages. It raises important questions about the responsibility of sports teams and stadium operators to ensure the safety of fans, particularly those sitting in areas where they may be at risk from objects falling or being thrown from above.
