What Should I Do After an Amusement Park Accident?
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
A fun day at a Florida amusement park like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, or Busch Gardens can turn disastrous if an accident occurs. From roller coaster malfunctions to slip-and-fall incidents or parking lot crashes, injuries can leave you overwhelmed. At Kaiser Romanello Accident & Injury Attorneys, with nearly 25 years of experience, we’ve helped Orlando and Tampa victims navigate these challenges. This guide outlines six critical steps to protect your health and legal rights after an amusement park accident.
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority after an amusement park accident. Even if injuries seem minor, like a sprain or headache, seek medical care immediately, as conditions like whiplash or traumatic brain injuries may worsen over time. A medical record not only ensures proper treatment but also serves as vital evidence for your claim, documenting the extent of your injuries for any future legal action.
Document the Accident Scene
If possible, take photos or videos of the accident site, capturing hazards like wet walkways, malfunctioning ride parts, or damaged vehicles in a parking lot crash. These visuals are crucial for strengthening your case, as they provide clear evidence of the conditions that caused your injury, helping to establish liability when dealing with the park or insurance companies.
File an Official Incident Report
Notify park staff about the accident and request to file an official incident report, ensuring you receive a copy or reference number. This document is essential for proving the accident occurred on park property, serving as a formal record that supports your personal injury lawsuit and helps validate your claim against the amusement park.
Gather Witness Information
Collect contact details from anyone who witnessed the accident, such as other park guests or employees. Their statements can corroborate your account and strengthen your case, especially if the park or insurance company disputes your claim. Witness testimony is often critical in establishing liability and securing fair compensation.
Consult an Experienced Attorney
Amusement park accident claims are complex, with insurance companies often denying liability or blaming victims. An experienced personal injury attorney can investigate the accident, gather evidence, and fight for compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At Kaiser Romanello, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win, and our 25 years of experience ensure a client-focused approach.
Act Quickly to Protect Your Rights
Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the accident date, per Florida Statutes § 95.11 (2023), so acting promptly is critical. Delaying can weaken your case as evidence disappears and witnesses forget details.
