Personal Injury at a Cedar Point Amusement Park*

If you have been injured in an accident which was not your fault, you may be wondering what you can do about it. You may have thought about trying to recover the cost of the medical treatment you have had to pay for, as well as replacing any lost income as a result of the accident.

If you can prove that the accident was definitely someone else’s fault, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. Compensation for medical expenses, lost income and possibly other payments may be awarded.

Personal Injury While at on Vacation

Cedar Point is best known for its range of rollercoaster rides, with some of the highest, longest and most hair raising in the world, including Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Valravn (the most recent) and Wicked Twister.

Injuries are always possible, even in a normally well run amusement park. Because of the size of places it is always possible that safety measures somewhere do not match up to what they should be and then it is possible for someone to get injured.

Accidents at an Amusement Park

However, other accidents could be due to a faulty piece of equipment or a mistake made by one or more of the employees. Two months before the Raptor accident described above, a 37 year old man had to be taken to hospital after receiving a gash to his leg. He was injured as he was getting on to the Raptor loading platform just as the gates closed on him. Accident victims at an amusement park can only claim compensation if they can prove that their injuries were preventable and caused by negligence on the part of the amusement park staff.

How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help You Claim Compensation

If you, or a member of your family, is injured in an amusement park, you must be sure that the accident was not your fault and that you are able to prove that the accident was the fault of the park staff or management. You may find that it is a lot easier for you to use a personal injury attorney to help you prepare a claim for compensation. It is likely that the attorney will have dealt with this particular amusement park before and knows how best to deal with the park management and their insurance company.
