Carnivals and amusement parks are a great way to spend a family day out. The thrill that comes from a roller coaster can be exhilarating and addictive. Statistics state that close to 27 million Americans visit amusement parks every year. Despite the fact that safety is a number one priority for these types of venues, accidents are far too common. Some of these accidents may lead to permanent injury, while others can turn fatal.
In 2011, amusement park accidents accounted for about 1,415 injuries with the majority of them being ride-related. Less than 5 percent of these require some form of overnight hospital treatment. However, it’s not uncommon for individuals to sustain life-changing injuries.
There are a number of theme parks and amusement parks in Texas, and many of them are near the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. These include:
These amusement parks and water parks offer a variety of distractions such as thrill rides, family rides, entertainment, shopping and special events. Many of these activities can turn catastrophic if adequate safety measures are not followed.
Examples of injuries which may occur include:
These injuries may be caused by things like a defective ride, lack of adequate safety measures, inadequate staffing, improper training, employee negligence, or even a slip and fall due to neglected premises. Due to the nature of these types of injuries, you may be able to file a claim against the amusement park management or equipment manufacturer. These types of claims can include premises liability, product liability or a general negligence claim.
