Amusement Park Injury: Not Exactly the Fun Time You Hoped For

If you or a family member recently suffered an amusement park injury in the Sunshine State, not only must you now deal with medical, legal and perhaps even emotional crises, but you also must reconcile with the fact that your vacation turned into something of a nightmare. Where do amusement park slip and fall injuries typically occur? Who might be liable for your medical care and other damages?

Amusement Park Injuries – Examples of Where They Can Happen:

  • Slippery Restroom
Floors at amusement park bathrooms can get quite slippery, particularly if the staff mops the floors overzealously (or fails to mop the floors zealously enough). In the rush to clean up a toddler's accident, for instance, you might slip on the floor and bump your head against the stall or even a hard toilet.

  • Leaks and spills
Oil and grease can collect underneath rides undergoing maintenance or repair. The slick gunk can spread, particularly during rainy weather, and turn an ordinarily safe sidewalk or amusement park arcade into the equivalent of black ice.

  • Slipping or falling on rides, kiosks or eateries
Nearly an infinite number of things can “go wrong” at an amusement park. Someone can accidently push you over. You might stub your toe on a warped piece of plastic or plywood. You might lose your balance getting out of the bumper cars. With so many people, so many amusements, and so many moving parts, amusement parks can be extreme danger zones.

After taking care of your injury, reporting the incident, collecting as much information as possible about what happened, taking witness statements, filling out a police report, and engaging in other commonsense practices, you may wish to connect with an experienced amusement park injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb.
