Premises Liability

Amusement Park Accidents

Every year, thousands of people are injured and several are killed at amusement parks.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimated that in 2004 as many as 3,500 people were injured seriously enough to require emergency care because of amusement park accidents. Between 1997 and 2002, the CPSC found an average of 4.4 people died each year in non-work related accidents at amusement parks, theme parks, fairs and carnivals in the U.S.

The attorneys at Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder PC, are experienced in representing amusement park injury victims. We have a record of obtaining significant financial compensation for people injured in amusement park accidents caused by:

  • Mechanical failures caused by improper maintenance
  • Defective products
  • Failure to install adequate safety equipment or failure of that equipment
  • Operator errors
  • Hazards in and around the ride

Whether you were injured on an amusement ride at Six Flags, Lake Compounce, Quassy, Playland, Laser Quest, at a water park, ski resort or any other type of facility, it is important to understand your legal rights and options. Our lawyers will carefully review the facts of your case and tell you whether or not you have a valid claim for damages.

If so, we will aggressively pursue full compensation for damages caused by negligence, including pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages or income, property damage and loss of enjoyment of life.

In addition to representing visitors, we also represent workers injured in maintenance and construction accidents at theme parks and carnivals.
