Amusement Park
Thousands of people visit amusement and theme parks in all over the UK each year, and most simply have a great day experiencing the sights and sounds of the park.
However, there is a chance of personal injury while visiting an amusement park, which could give you the right to a compensation claim.
For example, there might be a pavement defect inside the park due to the negligence of the owners, or perhaps spillage which has not been cleaned up. There may be mud, hidden potholes, openings in the ground or cables obscured by grass or poor illumination which result in a fall.
Sometimes one of the rides at the amusement park might malfunction, and as a passenger, you could be injured through a jolt or collision. This could result in a whiplash or broken bones.
There’s also the possibility of food poisoning from the cafés and restaurants inside the amusement park, and injuries from items falling from height. Signposts, fencing or other objects can fall and injure guests.
In order to make a successful amusement park accident compensation claim, you need to prove that it was another party responsible for your injury. In this case, this will be the owner of the amusement park, the fairground operators, the owners of the attraction or the owners of the land on which the events are taking place. To help your case, you should report to the accident to the staff nearby, get statements and contact details from any witnesses, and take photographs of the accident area if possible. You may also need to report the accident directly to the Health and Safety Executive.
