Personal Injury at an Amusement Park
Are you one of the millions of people who take their family to a big amusement park from time to time? It’s unlikely that you ever thought you or one of your kids would ever get badly injured in a place like that. Surely, that couldn’t happen?They are too well run!
Sadly, accidents can happen just about anywhere, even in an amusement park where people are supposed to have fun.
If one of your family is injured in any way, you may have to pay out for medical treatment you never planned for. You may have to give up going to work for a time just to look after one of your kids who was injured. That’s when pursuing a personal injury claim makes sense, especially if you can prove that the accident should never have happened.
If it was the fault of someone or something to do with the park, you have a much better chance of winning a claim.
It’s often when things are not looking so good financially and a park owner has to look to make savings that accidents are more likely to happen.
Water parks that have activities that needs need competent staff and constant maintenance to make sure that the visiting public experiences their thrills and spills safely.
When Accidents Happen at an Amusement Park
Even the best managed amusement park could have accidents occasionally. It’s hard to monitor what every employee is doing all the time. Accidents happen when maintenance schedules are not strictly adhered to or attendants are not vigilantly looking out for people who get into trouble on the water slides.
Plenty of water means slippery surfaces.
It’s easy to imagine how a typical water park accident could occur. Someone runs down the side of a pool and slips over, injuring their back or breaking a leg.
The side of a water slide falls away under pressure because it wasn’t fixed properly. That’s when a small child could fall over the edge and injure herself.
Making a Claim May be Necessary
If anything like this happens to you or your family and you blame the park, don’t hesitate to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as you can.
Park managers don’t always fall over themselves to admit fault and you may have a struggle to get compensation you may badly need to pay hospital bills. Winning a personal injury claim is never easy and you will need all the help you can get.
An experienced personal injury attorney, especially one who has dealt with amusement park accident clams before, will know how to tackle your claim and negotiate aggressively with the park management and the park’s insurance company.
