Each year, thousands of people are drawn to the thrills and excitement of amusement parks and/or water parks. Although the rides are supposed to be safe, they can present any number of dangers to park visitors and employees. Tragedy can strike at any given moment leading to catastrophic injuries and untimely deaths. Consequently, as the number of visitors increases, the frequency of amusement park accidents increases.
An outing that began as an exciting way to have fun can end in disaster. California is home to many amusement parks such as:
- Belmont Park
- Castle Amusement Park
- Disneyland
- Knott’s Berry Farm
- Manteca Waterslides
- Mustang Waterslides
- Sea World
- Six Flags
- Universal Studios Hollywood
The most common source of amusement park accidents is attributed to mechanical failure or operator failure, although other factors can contribute to amusement park injuries or deaths, including:
- Bloody noses
- Concussions
- Fractured bones
- Paralysis
If you have been seriously injured or a family member has been injured or died in a theme park accident, seeking legal representation is a must. Monetary compensation may be available to cover medical costs, rehabilitation, out-of-pocket expenses, and pain and suffering. Laws regarding amusement park accidents are very complex requiring the knowledge of an experienced San Bernardino personal injury attorney. Do not accept a settlement from the park or its insurance representative before seeking legal advice. You may be entitled to a much greater settlement than they are willing to offer.
