Boulder Premises Liability Attorney

Experienced Lawyer Helping Amusement Park Accident Victims

Amusement parks are a favored form of entertainment for many Colorado residents, and are supposed to be fun and safe leisurely activities.  Amusement parks strive to provide the ultimate thrill, but sometimes in the process park-goers can be injured.  Roller coasters and other types of rides are supposed to be fun safe for passengers, but sometimes things can go very wrong and people can be seriously injured or even killed in amusement parks. 

When an amusement park accident occurs, it will become necessary to enlist the help of an attorney.  A lawyer can examine the circumstances of the accident in order to determine liability for the accident.  If it is discovered that a ride operator, manufacturer, or company is responsible for causing the accident, they can be deemed negligent and may be sued for damages.  If you or someone you love has suffered an injury in an amusement park accident, a Boulder premises liability lawyer can help you get compensation for your injuries. 

Some common causes of amusement park accidents include:  

• Mechanical failures: missing safety pins, broken welds or structural components, exposed electrical wires, malfunctioning lap bars or other safety restraints, failure to shutoff, etc.
• Operator behavior: abruptly stopping the ride, improperly assembling or maintaining the ride
  Consumer behavior: intentionally rocking cars, standing up, defeating safety restraints, sitting improperly, holding child above the safety restraint
  Other: rides that injure people while apparently functioning normally, without any unusual behavior on the part of the consumer or operator.
  Combination: operator suddenly stopping a ride when he heard an unusual thumping sound due to a bent rail.
