With many states easing their Coronavirus restrictions, amusement parks have been under the spotlight. Amusement parks are the most common tourist attraction in Florida, with an average of a quarter of a million visitors per day that attend Walt Disney World resorts, according to www.ocregister.com. Amusement parks are meant for people of all ages. There is literally something for everyone. From roller coasters and bumper cars to carnival games and water slides. It is no secret that adults, teens, kids and even babies love amusement parks. Unfortunately, although amusement parks are fun, injuries are very common.
Some common injuries come from bumps, bruises, scratches, broken bones and, rarely, death. There are various causes of actions that may be used to prove liability. Premises liability, products liability and negligence are common causes of actions in amusement park injuries. On top of that, sometimes, it may not be the fault of only one person, or entity, it may be two, three or more that are liable. An experienced Florida personal injury attorney will help you sort out all of the details and determine where liability and fault lies.
