Legal Responsibility of Amusement Park Owners
Owners and operators of amusement parks have a legal duty to protect the public. Florida law requires that they maintain their premises and address known hazards. This includes:
- Ride maintenance and regular inspections are essential.
- Background checks for hiring and training qualified staff
- Background checks for hiring and training qualified staff
- Displaying clear warnings about safety and instructions
- Adequate on-site security is essential to prevent theft and assault
Park owners are legally liable in a premises liability or negligent security lawsuit. We investigate all angles of your case at Bonardi & Uzdavinis and fight to make them accountable.
Product Liability for Ride Failures
It’s possible that an injury at an amusement park is not the fault of the park, but rather a defect in ride design or manufacture. Florida’s product liability law may hold the designer or manufacturer responsible for ride malfunctions and broken parts mid-ride or failed restraint systems.
Our company works with engineers and experts in safety to find the root cause of the malfunction. We will take action against any parties responsible if a ride is inherently unsafe or poorly built.
Injury Statistics at Amusement Parks
Although serious injuries are rare in comparison to the number of visitors, they can happen. Consumer Product Safety Commission data shows:
- In a single calendar year, over 30,000 people were treated in emergency departments for injuries caused by amusement rides.
- Florida is a popular destination and has a high number of accidents.
- Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, and other theme parks have reported hundreds of injuries each year, including heart attacks, concussions, and seizures.
Better maintenance and oversight could have prevented many of these injuries. When negligence leads to harm, our team at Bonardi & Uzdavinis will demand accountability.
The Most Common Slip and Falls Injuries That We Handle
Even the most cautious visitor may suffer an injury because of unsafe conditions. Some of the most common injuries that our clients have suffered include:
Neck and Back Injury
G-forces generated by roller coasters, thrill rides, and sudden turns and drops may cause neck and back strain, whiplash, or disc injuries.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Concussions and serious brain injuries can result from head traumas. This makes these destinations especially hazardous environments to visit.
Lacerations, Broken Bones
Falling over, misusing handrails, or leaving exposed metal surfaces unmaintained can result in cuts, fractures, or worse. Some injuries require surgery while others leave permanent scars.
Drownings and Near-Drownings
If lifeguards in waterparks fail in their duties, drownings can happen. Drowning incidents are both traumatizing and potentially lethal occurrences that must be properly dealt with to safeguard life.
Wrongful Death
Some park-goers never return home. Our attorneys can assist your family if your loved one was killed by an amusement park due to their negligence. They will help you recover funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
According to the circumstances surrounding the injury, any or all of the following parties could be at fault:
- The operator of an amusement park or ride
- The manufacturer or designer of the ride
- Third-party maintenance contractors
- Employees or security personnel at the park
No stone is left unturned by our firm. We collect surveillance footage, maintenance logs, witness statements, and expert evaluations in order to prove fault and maximize compensation.
