Personal Injury at a Water Country USA Amusement Park*

Amusement parks are places to take the family for a day to have some relaxation and fun. There are plenty of amusement parks across the U.S. and they are all very popular, but they are not accident free.

In fact, it’s possible to be involved in an accident just about anywhere, mainly because it’s hard to take into account the way other people behave. That includes some of the people who work in amusement parks.

If they don’t do their job properly, or the park is not making safety considerations a priority, you, or someone in your family, could end up badly hurt and facing a big hole in your family finances. If that’s what has happened to you, you should not be afraid of getting legal advice and claiming compensation from the park or any of its employees. A personal injury attorney with experience in amusement park accident claims can help you pursue your claim more effectively than trying to negotiate by yourself.

Because the park is so popular, especially on hot summer school holidays and weekends, it is hard to make it totally accident free. That doesn’t mean that every accident is the fault of careless, happy visitors. Like any large, diverse public place there is always the possibility that someone working at the park has failed to maintain the necessary standards needed to make the place a safe family environment.

Accidents at a Water Park? Surely Not!

Having an accident while enjoying spending a day at an amusement park must seem a nightmare, especially if it is one of your kids that has been injured. What can you do? Your first thoughts are to take care of any injuries, however serious these prove to be. Most water parks do make a big effort to maintain a safe environment for their visitors and really serious accidents that are definitely the fault of someone at the park are quite rare, but not unknown.

Each park has its ups and downs and sometimes there is a period in which safety takes second place after trying to make a profit. Maintenance may take a hit. Rides, slides and attractions may not be quite as safe as they should be and that’s when accidents are more likely to happen. If a park tries to make savings on staff and there are not enough attendants at a particular attraction, anyone who gets injured may blame this on the park.

What to do if You Have Been Injured

If this has happened to you, then you should certainly consider your legal options. You may be faced with medical bills you can’t really afford or you have to miss time working to look after an injured child. Most personal injury attorneys will probably have had experience with the sort of injuries you have experienced. They will be able to give practical and professional help to recover any expenses you have incurred through negligence at an amusement park.
