FAQs
In what situations do injured people "assume the risk" of an accident?
The overhead seat belt that a theme park attendant strapped on for my Shockwave roller-coaster ride became unlatched midway through the ride. I have a history of high blood pressure and suffered a mild seizure because of the violent shaking, jolting and jouncing. Does the park have any liability?
Amusement Park Accidents and Liability
If I am injured on a roller coaster ride at an amusement or theme park, is the park liable or is the ride’s manufacturer liable for the roller coaster accident?
My child suffered brain injuries from a new roller coaster that will require significant medical treatment in the future, which we don’t know the cost of yet. How can the court deal with this to make sure there is enough money?
My daughter was injured in an amusement park’s haunted house when one of the characters grabbed her. Can she be compensated for her injury?
The ticket we purchased from the amusement park had a disclaimer on it. Does this mean we can’t sue for any injuries suffered at the park?
After I was injured at the amusement park, the staff had me sign “routine documents” before they took me to the hospital. Now I find out that I signed something saying that the park was not liable for my injuries. Is this valid?
I scraped my arm on the slide at the water park. Now it is all red, painful and puffy, and my doctor says I have septicemia. Can I sue the water park for not sufficiently purifying the water?
My husband has a bad back. He has suffered significant, additional pain after going on the bumper cars. Is the amusement park liable for this?
My child became ill on the Scrambler when the ride broke and they couldn’t get it stopped for 10 minutes. Is the amusement park liable?
The Ferris wheel I was on with my child broke down, and we were stuck in the air at the top of an incline for everyone to see. The park had us climb down some scaffolding, and now my child is terrified of heights. Can we sue for emotional distress?
My son was a bystander and was injured by a set of keys that fell out of a man’s pocket while the man was on a ride at a theme park. Who is at fault?
My toddler was playing in the ball room at an amusement park and was buried under the balls for an unknown period of time, causing a brain injury. Who is liable?
My child drowned at the water park, even though there were lifeguards on duty. Can I hold the park or the individual lifeguards liable?
My family went to a paintball park. I was hit by a paintball in the face, and suffered a cracked cheekbone. Is the park liable?
My 10-year old ignored the warning signs at the coaster’s entrance that had age, height and weight criteria. He broke one arm and leg when he stuck out his arms and legs. Are we partially responsible? Will we recover any damages?
My 14-year old snuck into the theme park without paying the admission and, in going on a whirling ride with its twists and turns, suffered a whiplash. Does the fact that he did not pay for admission restrict his damage award?
How is a lawyer reimbursed in an amusement park accident?
Playground Accident Claims
FAQs
My child was injured at the city playground on their equipment. Is the city liable for his injuries?
My son was injured playing on his school’s playground equipment on a Saturday. Is the school district liable?
My daughter was being chased by an older child at the city playground. She tried to climb the jungle gym to get away, and fell. Is the playground liable as well as the parents of the older child?
Can we sue the school for our child’s injuries that he suffered at the playground when he climbed the fence to get into the playground at night?
My kids were fooling around on the playground equipment at an abandoned school and one fell, hitting other equipment on the way down to the ground. Does the town have any liability even though the school has long closed?
Some of the trees at our city’s playground were dead, and a child was injured by a falling tree branch. Is the city liable for not taking those trees down?
The city has admitted that it knew it was unreasonably dangerous to have concrete under the jungle gym at the playground. Can I hold them accountable for this admission?
My 9-year old collided with another boy on some monkey bars at a fast food restaurant. He fell to the pea gravel surface, suffering fractures and internal injuries. Since there was fault at the start, will my damages be restricted? Does the owner of the fast food restaurant have any liability?
The untied drawstrings on my 7-year-old’s hooded sweatshirt got snagged near the top of the slide and tightened as she slid down, strangling her. The manufacturer of the equipment went out of business a decade ago. What are our options now? Can I go after the clothing manufacturer and the school district as well?
Playgrounds & Environmental Hazards
FAQs
Arsenic was found in the landscaping timbers used at the school playground. What should I have my child tested for to determine if she has suffered from exposure to this?
We just found out that our city built the playground on a contaminated site. How do we make sure that our children are compensated for any exposure-related injuries that show up later?
