California Amusement Park Accidents can result in:

• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Bone Fractures
• Scarring
• Brain Injury
• Paralysis
• Lacerations
• Whiplash
• Death

Most of the time, this type of personal injury occurs from one of three reasons: operator behavior, mechanical failure, or consumer behavior. Consumer behavior involves a ride passenger causing their own personal injury by standing up during the ride, failing to use safety restraints, etc. Most of the time, however, riders follow proper safety precautions and this is not the issue. Mechanical failures are another common reason why individuals get injured while on a ride. Malfunctioning safety restraints and lap bars that do not work properly are some examples of mechanical failures. Sometimes there may not be any mechanical errors with the ride and the riders may not be at fault either, but it may be the fault of the operator. If the operator does not properly control the ride, this can cause personal injury to those on the ride. Contact an injury attorney if an operator's negligence caused injury to you, a friend, or family member.

Although small, mild rides can still result in injury, especially to children, it is usually the bigger and more extreme rides that are involved in serious amusement park accident cases in California. Falling from rollercoasters and water rides are rare occurrences but have happened in the past. Other times, a rider may have a heart attack on a ride, and there were no signs or warnings posted outside of the ride that this type of attraction may cause heart failure. Some of these accidents can be devastating and can result in expensive medical bills and long hospital stays. Sadly, these types of injuries often result in death. If you lost someone close to you due to a deadly amusement park accident in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or anywhere else in California, contact an injury attorney at the Law Offices of Steven M.
