Amusement Park Accidents

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

Each year, countless people flock to popular amusement parks for entertainment, rides and thrills.  When people attend amusement parks, they usually do not think that they will sustain injuries.  However, the reality is the many people are seriously injured while attending amusement parks each year.  Even sadder is the fact that amusement park accidents have led to numerous fatalities throughout the state of California. 

Causes of Amusement Park Accidents

Amusement parks are required to comply with federal laws that were created to protect park visitors.  Still, even with these strict laws in place, amusement park accidents ensue.  Some causes of these types of accidents include:

• Visitors acting negligently or not complying with the rules of the amusement park.  For example, many amusement parks have ride restrictions which they advertise at the front of ride lines.  Despite cautionary warnings, people who should not go on the ride due to medical conditions may sneak on the ride and then sustain an injury.
• Visitors riding on attractions with unknown health issues.
• Park owners failing to provide general maintenance of rides, attractions and amusement park grounds.  This may result in park visitors sustaining injuries while on park property.
• Generic incidents, such as visitors running on park grounds and then slipping, falling and incurring injuries. 

Amusement Park Accidents & Liability

Victims of amusement park accidents may be allowed to file lawsuits if their accidents resulted from park owner negligence or illegal park operations.  In order to file a lawsuit for their injuries, amusement park accident victims must be able to prove that the amusement park acted negligently and that because of the park’s negligent actions, they sustained serious injuries.  Proving these elements can be extremely difficult but it is essential to victims’ cases, which is why victims of amusement park accidents are always advised to obtain representation from a skilled premises liability lawyer.
