Accident At Wedding

Location: Ohio
We had our wedding and reception on 10/10 in a city owned building. My brother in law and sister were our videographer and photographer for our wedding because that’s what they do for work. During the reception, a sound panel fell off of the ceiling and landed on my brother in law and hit him in the head while he was working. He began to have convulsions and has been in the hospital for 10 days and just went to a rehab facility.

After the one sound panel fell, which weighs about 60 pounds I’d say, we looked and saw another panel only hanging on by one side.

We read the rental agreement and it has this clause in it and was wondering if we could be held for anything. My sister has an attorney and he hasn’t said anything yet, but they have to wait until he gets better to fully understand the cost of things is what she told me. She said her attorney also hasn’t said anything about this but it was brought to my attention today. Thank you!

I can’t seem to add a picture so here’s the clause I’m worried about:

Indemnification:
• The Renter assumes complete responsibility and liability for any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, penalties and judgements relating to or arising from the event.
• The Renter further agrees to save and hold harmless the City of____from and against all claims, losses and liability arising
out of damage to property; injury to or death of persons occasioned by or in connection with the acts of omissions of the Renter or of the Renter's agent; or the use of any motor vehicle or other equipment or property in connection therewith; and from and against all claims, losses, liability for costs, fees, and attorney expenses in connection and therewith.
