Southern California Amusement Park Accidents
Southern California amusement parks such as Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, etc., are a favorite form of entertainment for families and young people. Millions of people from all over the world come to Southern California specifically to visit our amusement parks and ride our roller coasters.
New roller coasters and other amusement park "thrill" rides are cropping up all the time and are advertised as being the world's fastest, highest and scariest. Unfortunately, with an alarming increase in frequency, these rides are giving riders a lot more than they pay for, including broken or bloody noses, broken ribs and limbs, whiplash, brain hemorrhages, paralysis and even death. A recent report by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes documented 15 cases of ride-related brain injury since 1979. Only one occurred before 1990, and 13 happened since 1994 - telling evidence that rides are getting more dangerous.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that emergency room injuries from amusement park rides rose almost 87 percent in the last five years. In 1998 there were 9,200 amusement park related injuries nationwide that required emergency room visits with an estimated 2,100 of these injuries occurring on mobile amusement rides and 4,500 injuries involved fixed rides. The investigation conducted by the CPSC into these injuries concluded that several factors are at fault in these injuries - consumer behavior, operator behavior, mechanical failure, and design defects or limitations.
Liability for amusement park accidents and theme park injuries involves three types of law - negligence or tort law, product liability law and premises liability law. These laws are complex and require the expertise of a Southern California Personal Injury Attorney with experience handling amusement park accident injury cases.
