A recent story run in the Orange County Register reported an alarming statistic - close to 300 amusement park accidents involving injuries occurred at amusement parks in the last 2 years. While some of the injuries were minor, many serious injuries occurred such as back injuries, head injuries and spinal cord injuries.
If you have been injured at a California amusement park, it is important to speak to a Stockton personal injury lawyer to determine your next steps.
Amusement park injuries - or any type of injury that occurs on the premises of another - generally fall into the category of "premises liability." Premises liability refers to the concept that owners or operators have a duty to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to provide warnings of dangerous conditions that the owner or operator knows about, or should have known about. Premises liability actions can arise in any situation where someone is harmed at the place of another, be it a home, shopping mall, sports arena or amusement park.
Where the owner or operator acts negligently or recklessly in maintaining their property in a reasonable manner, those injured may be able to recover medical costs, rehabilitation casts, pain and suffering, lost wages and lost earning capacity.
For more information, or if you believe you may have been harmed due to "premises liability," please contact the dedicated Stockton personal injury lawyers at the Law Office of Frederick J. Sette.
