Minneapolis Amusement Park Accidents Lawyer

Amusement parks, such as the larger and more popular ones including Disney World, Six Flags and Knots Berry Farm, as well as the smaller carnivals and fairs operating across Minnesota, can result in several extremely dangerous and catastrophic injuries. The sheer magnitude of a fall due to a mechanical error or operator error can result in life-threatening consequences, including brain and spinal injuries, broken bones, and even death. In fact, thousands of people are injured every year due to amusement park injuries that should have been avoided.

Common Causes of Accidents at Theme Parks

At TSR Injury Law Firm, we will investigate your case to determine why this has happened and what can be done. In most instances, you will be looking into a liability lawsuit and insurance claim due to one of the following factors:

  • Mechanical failure and defects
  • Operator error or improper training of the operator
  • Defects in the design process
  • Failure to post proper warnings about a ride
  • Inadequate inspection and maintenance
  • Loose cables, rusted belts, sharp objects, and/or improper belting
  • Lack of safety harness and other features
  • Lack of, or improper, maintenance procedures
  • Abrupt starts and stops

Children and Amusement Park Accidents

Unfortunately, children are often the ones who are victims of amusement park injuries. In fact, 51 percent of all theme park-related accidents happen to children. Seventeen percent of these injuries happen to those between the ages of 10 and 14 — the time when amusement parks are considered one of the greatest things on earth. Children want to ride on the roller coasters, to spin on the spider, and to fly on the pirate ship because they are fun and bring a sense of adventure and thrill. However, they do not expect to have to risk their life every time they buckle up. This is not something any parent or child can prepare for, and should not have to.

It is the legal responsibility of the theme park organization, its staff, and its servicing team to perform regular inspections and maintenance on all machines and rides. If there is ever any type of problem, they must shut it down, even if this means losing out on money. At TSR Injury Law Firm, we are a leading name in Minnesota personal injury lawyers and lawsuits. We can help you understand your rights and, if you choose, we can help you file a product liability lawsuit against the company responsible for your or your loved one’s accident.
