Waukegan Amusement Park Injury Attorneys
Law Firm Helping Clients Injured by Amusement Park Negligence in North Chicago
There are a wide variety of recreational activities available throughout Northern Illinois, and many people enjoy amusement park attractions such as roller coasters, water slides, bumper cars, and carousels. While these rides may seem risky, we expect amusement parks to keep us safe, whether we are enjoying a local carnival or visiting a major park like Six Flags Great America. Unfortunately, injuries often occur, and when these injuries are caused by someone's negligence, the injured party has the right to seek compensation for their damages.
At Salvi & Maher, LLP, our attorneys have decades of experience and a proven record of success in personal injury cases, and we are dedicated to helping our clients receive the compensation they deserve.
Causes of Amusement Park Injuries
Amusement parks are meant to provide families with a fun, safe environment, but all too often, people are injured because of the negligence of owners and employees. This negligence can take a variety of forms, including:
- Equipment failure
- Improper maintenance
- Inadequate employee training
- Improper equipment operation
- Equipment design defects
- Improper signage
- Failure to provide warnings about the risks presented by certain attractions
Types of Amusement Park Injuries
At amusement parks, what may seem like a small oversight can lead to catastrophic, life-altering injuries, including:
- Whiplash and other head, neck, or back injuries caused by improper restraints or the jolting motion of a ride.
- Traumatic brain injury caused by rapid changes in speed or being struck by broken parts of a ride.
- Wrongful death from a fall, being thrown from a ride, or other equipment failure.
- Lacerations, broken bones, or burns from malfunctioning equipment.
- Drowning on water slides or other types of water attractions.
- Slip and fall injuries caused by improper park maintenance.
- Harm caused by failure to maintain proper security.
Amusement park owners and operators owe their customers a duty of care to provide a safe environment and protect them from harm. If they fail to meet this standard, and you are injured as a result, you deserve to be compensated for your damages, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
