LAWYERS

The temperate Southern California climate makes it a popular tourist destination and the ideal place to operate a theme park. Some of the more popular amusement parks in Southern California include: Sea World in San Diego, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure in Anaheim, Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Los Angeles, and Universal Studios in Hollywood. Injuries in these types of theme parks most commonly occur on roller coaster rides and on water slides. There is a multitude of other types of negligence that can occur. Amusement parks keep staff and maintenance crews at a minimum in an effort to rake in profits. This increases the chance of injury to unsuspecting innocent victims who visit the park with the assumption that the park has spared no expense to ensure their safety. If you ore a loved one has been injured in a theme park or amusement park in Southern California, you need an aggressive attorney who specializes in these legal matters.


Roller Coaster Accident

A roller coaster accident is a serious matter that can cause life altering. These types of incidents are more commonplace than you may think. You just do not hear about them because the theme parks attempt to settle quickly in exchange for keeping the matter silent, often under a confidentiality clause. When the general public hears about a roller coaster accident, theme park sales suffer. Southern California amusement parks such as Sea World, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Disneyland have a huge incentive to limit the publicity of theme park malfunctions and disasters.

When roller coasters malfunction to the point of that people suffer serious injuries, it usually means that somebody was negligent or that one or more parts of the rollercoaster were defectively manufactured. A common form of negligence is negligent maintenance or negligent supervision of the operations of the coaster carts and tracks.

The most common causes of accidents, when they occur, are operator negligence and negligence maintenance of the tracks by maintenance and safety crews. This can lead to derailment of a coaster cart, or a piece of the cart breaking off and landing on someone’s head, causing a head injury to a bystander standing below.

Another common cause of accidents is defectively manufactured parts or faulty seat belts or safety harnesses. Defective or faulty safety belts could break loose, causing a passenger to fall out of a coaster cart, suffering serious bodily injury or falling to their death. If you have suffered serious bodily injury in a roller coaster accident, a San Diego bodily injury attorney at Injury Law Group can help you hold the theme park or ride operator accountable.

"I was in a car accident and the insurance company was offering me a very small settlement for my injury. My daughter recommended that I call Mark.

The professionalism of the attorneys and staff was beyond my expectations. ...The insurance company had to pay over three times what they had offered to pay me before I hired Mark and his firm."
