Amusement Park Accidents and Personal Injury Claims

According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 2003 and 2013, an estimated 113,272 inflatable amusement-related injuries were treated by emergency departments. More than 90% of the estimated injuries were related to moon bounces. During this same period, 12 deaths involving inflatable amusements were reported to the CPSC. In 2003, it was reported that an estimated 3,000 non-occupational injuries were treated by hospital emergency departments. According to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), in 2008, approximately 1,343 ride-related injuries were reported in the US. Of those, 80 injuries were reported as “serious,” meaning that overnight treatment in a hospital was required for purposes other than observation. Everyone loves amusement parks, but they can also be places where serious accidents occur. There have been many wrongful death claims filed against amusement parks, alleging that an accident in the amusement park resulted in a death. There are other serious injuries that are caused by these accidents, including whiplash, broken bones, neck and back injuries, heart attacks, and internal injuries.

Amusement Park Injuries and Legal Responsibility

The owners and operators of amusement parks have a legal responsibility to ensure that visitors are not involved in accidents in their park. This responsibility includes making sure that the property as well as the amusements on the property are maintained properly and kept in the safest condition possible. If an injury occurs in the amusement park and the accident could have been prevented if reasonable steps had been taken by the amusement park, the injured person may be able to sue for compensation by filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Depending on the circumstances of the accident in the amusement park, the legal responsibility for harm that the visitor suffered could rest on the owner of the amusement park, the designer or manufacturer of the ride, the operator of the ride or a concession stand or ride owner. Some of the most common types of claims filed against defendants include wrongful death, slip and fall injury, which is under premise liability, negligence, food poisoning, and defective product claims.

Personal Injury Claims

If you want to file a personal injury claim against an amusement park for injuries or harm, you need to prove that your injury was caused due to the negligence of another person, e.g. the amusement park owner or ride operator. To make sure that your case is successful, you should report the accident immediately to the appropriate authorities. Make sure that you also take the names, addresses, and other details of witnesses as well as photographs of the accident area and your injuries. This will help your case.
