It is estimated that there are roughly 270 million amusement park visitors each year, and nearly 7,000 people are admitted to the emergency room with injuries related to these theme parks. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has found that the rate of injuries has risen 87% in the last 5 years. Common injuries associated with amusement parks are broken noses, whiplash, bruised and broken ribs, neck injuries, brain hemorrhages, broken or amputated limbs, and even death. These injuries can be the result of mechanical failure, operator behaviors, poor maintenance, and design defects.

Liability for amusement park injuries involves several types of different law: premises liability, negligence (tort), and product liability. Needless to say, these lawsuits can be complicated. At the time when you or a love one has been a victim of an injury, then the last thing on your mind is a lawsuit, but seeking compensation for the following emergency room treated injuries is justified:
