A trip to a California theme park should be a fun and memorable experience. But when an injury occurs, that fun can quickly turn into a stressful situation. From ride malfunctions to slips and falls, theme park accidents happen more often than you might think. If you or someone you love was injured at a theme park, it’s important to understand your legal options. At LA Injury Attorneys, we help injury victims throughout California hold parks and their insurers accountable.
How Theme Park Injuries Happen
Theme parks are full of high-speed rides, heavy foot traffic, and fast-moving staff. These conditions can lead to serious accidents. Some common causes of injuries include malfunctioning rides, slippery surfaces, poor maintenance, and inattentive employees. Overcrowding and lack of safety signage can also create dangerous situations.
Whether the accident happened at a major destination like Disneyland or Universal Studios, or a smaller local amusement park, your safety should have been a priority. If the park failed to take proper precautions, you may have a valid claim.
Who May Be Responsible
Theme parks have a legal duty to keep guests safe. If that duty is violated, and you are hurt as a result, the park may be held responsible under premises liability law. Depending on the situation, the liable party could be the park operator, a third-party ride contractor, or even the manufacturer of the ride.
Our team at LA Injury Attorneys investigates each case carefully to determine who was at fault. We gather evidence, review maintenance records, and consult with experts when needed.
What to Do If You Are Injured at a California Theme Park
If you’re injured at a theme park, your first step should be to get medical help. Even if your injuries seem minor, documentation is key. Report the incident to park staff and ask for a copy of the incident report. Take photos if you can and try to get contact information from any witnesses.
Avoid speaking with the park’s insurance representatives until you’ve talked to a lawyer. Insurance adjusters may try to settle your claim quickly and for far less than you deserve. We represent clients across Los Angeles, Anaheim, Pasadena, and many other California cities.
What Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Injuries from theme park accidents can lead to medical bills, missed work, and lasting pain. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical costs, including follow-up treatment
- Lost income from time off work
- Physical pain and emotional stress
- Long-term care or therapy if needed
We have helped clients in Burbank, Glendale, Long Beach, and San Diego recover full and fair compensation after serious injuries.
