Amusement Park Injury Lawsuits (Part A)

Amusement parks should be happy and safe places for children, but every summer we hear horrifying reports of child injuries at theme parks and carnivals. The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) estimates that 1,309 people suffered amusement park injuries in 2007. However, theme parks only voluntarily report this information to the IAAPA, so the true number may be much higher.

If your child has suffered an amusement park injury, there are several things you should know about theme park lawsuits and how they work.

Statistics on Amusement Park Injury Lawsuits

While it is difficult to determine exactly how many theme park lawsuits are filed against theme parks each year, the number is probably quite high. According to the Orlando Sentinel, 477 lawsuits were filed against amusement parks in Florida between 2004 and 2008. Central Florida has more theme parks than any other region in the United States, and it's an attractive tourist destination for Massachusetts residents.

How to File a Theme Park Lawsuit

If your child has been injured in an amusement park accident, immediately write down all the details of the injury. Include information such as what ride or attraction was involved, how the theme park staff responded and the extent of your child's injuries. If possible, take pictures of the ride and your child's injuries. If your child's injury requires medical attention, keep copies of all medical bills and records.

Next, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer who specializes in child injury and amusement park injury cases in Boston, Massachusetts. It is important that the lawyer you choose has successfully handled child accident cases and understands the intricacies of theme park accidents.
