As the summer continues in Chicago, so does the music festivals that have become a big part of the city’s culture.

While it’s an event that’s meant to be enjoyed by those locally or visiting from out of town, it’s also important for attendees to do what they can to remain safe.
That’s where Attorney Howard Ankin of Ankin Law comes in.
As someone who has practiced injury law in Chicago for over three decades – and has attended a number of festivals on his own – Howard knows a few things that people can do to keep themselves safe.
- Make sure that you have a charged cell phone to reach people in case of emergency
- Have a travel plan set
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Make sure that you are around people that you feel safe and secure
- In case of an accident or injury, report it immediately
Ankin Law is well versed in helping people who have been injured at major events, doing so since its founding in 1997.
