Amusement Park Accidents

Claims form injuries sustained during a trip to an amusement park range from food poisoning, to a slip & fall getting on or off a ride, to a serious injury on an attraction. If you are a victim of an Amusement Park injury, you owe it to yourself and loved ones to understand that you have certain legal rights.

The Consumer Protection Safety Commission estimates the number of serious injuries on amusement park rides that are severe enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room have risen to almost 5000 annually. Unfortunately, the CPSC's ability to gather accurate information is seriously hampered by the loophole in the 1981 act - the so called "roller coaster loophole." This loophole prohibits the CPSC from regulating the safety of rides that are fixed to a specific site while mobile rides, those that move from location to location, fall under their jurisdiction. Although legislation has been introduced in congress, it has failed to become law.

As such, injury on a fixed ride falls to the law of the state where the injury occurred. Therefore it is important for you contact an attorney who can advise you of your rights.
