An amusement park accident at Busch Gardens, LEGOLAND, or Walt Disney World can turn a joyful day into a painful ordeal, leaving you with serious injuries and financial burdens. If you’ve been injured due to a roller coaster malfunction, fall accident, or car crash in a park parking lot, you may be entitled to compensation. At Kaiser Romanello Accident & Injury Attorneys, with nearly 25 years of experience in Orlando and Tampa, we help Florida amusement park victims understand what compensation they can seek and fight to maximize their recovery.
Types of Compensation for Amusement Park Injuries
When pursuing a personal injury lawsuit for an amusement park accident, you may be eligible to recover several types of damages, depending on the specifics of your case:
-
Medical Expenses
Compensation can cover past and future medical costs, including emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and medications. The average hospital stay for a serious injury costs over $30,000, per the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2023), making this a critical component of your claim. -
Lost Wages
If your injuries prevent you from working, you can seek compensation for lost income. This includes wages lost during recovery and, in cases of long-term disability, future earning potential. -
Pain and Suffering
Physical pain and emotional distress, such as anxiety or trauma from the accident, are compensable. These non-economic damages reflect the impact on your quality of life and mental well-being. -
Emotional Distress
Severe injuries, like broken bones or traumatic brain injuries, can cause lasting psychological harm. Compensation for emotional distress addresses these intangible losses. -
Wrongful Death Damages
In tragic cases where a loved one dies due to an amusement park accident, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and financial support the deceased would have provided.
Factors That Affect Your Compensation
The value of your claim depends on several factors, including:
-
Severity of Injuries: More severe injuries, like head injuries or sprains requiring ongoing care, typically result in higher compensation.
-
Evidence of Negligence: Proving the park’s negligence, such as a mechanical failure or unsafe conditions, strengthens your case.
-
Insurance Tactics: Insurance companies may downplay injuries or shift blame to reduce payouts, making legal representation essential.
