Amusement Park Accidents

When a fun-filled day turns tragic, it’s natural to feel fear, confusion and distress. As an accomplished personal injury and wrongful death attorney, Gregg Hollander has the insight and the resources to assess your situation and to help you pursue the compensation you need and deserve.

When mechanical problems, operator negligence, or carelessness result in amusement park accidents and potentially long-term health consequences due to severe injuries, you need the assurance of a proven attorney on your side. Boca Raton amusement park accident lawyer Gregg Hollander knows how to ensure that your needs – both current and future – are accurately determined.

He has the negotiation and trial skills to enforce your claim for damages. And he knows what it takes to represent victims of accidents at Disney World or elsewhere.

The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions and the National Safety Council report that nearly 1,100 ride-related injuries occur nationwide each year. Their figures translate to more than three accidents daily. Family and adult rides account for the greatest number of injuries – more than half.

But roller coasters and children’s rides also contribute to the total. And in the most recent year for which figures are available, the percentage of injuries on children’s rides increased significantly.

Injuries sustained on rides can range from minor scrapes, scratches and bruises to life-threatening wounds that require emergency medical care. In worst-case instances, injuries can cause lasting physical problems or disabilities, even loss of life. In fact, amusement park rides are capable of causing serious injuries just as any other type of heavy machinery might.

Those can include deep cuts or lacerations, broken bones, head injuries and concussions, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, injuries to the extremities, accidental amputations, and other wounds.
