Most amusement parks look very shiny, attractive and safe from the outside. But sometimes behind the scenes, invisible to the families visiting the park, lay hidden dangers that can severely injure or kill unsuspecting visitors.
These hidden fatal dangers are usually caused by sloppy management, stoned, untrained, or otherwise unqualified ride operators, poorly designed or maintained equipment, and owners who put profits over safety.
Dan Caplis Law pursues full economic justice for the victims of fatal amusement park accidents. Dan Caplis Law is determined to help make the amusement park industry safer, and to ensure that victims of amusement park recklessness are fully compensated for all that has been taken from them.
Common Causes of Denver Fatal Amusement Park Accidents
There are innumerable ways you could be fatally injured at an amusement park. Some of the most common types of accidents capable of causing death include:
- Amusement park rides. The exhilarating roller coasters and other rides have complex components and parts that may break down or malfunction. Ride accidents could be caused by a lack of proper maintenance, operator negligence, inadequate warnings, defective parts, and more.
- Slip and Fall Accidents. Amusement parks have plenty of ramps, stairs, pathways, and concrete open areas where a slip and fall could be life-threatening. The property owner could be liable if they were negligent or reckless by not taking preventive or corrective actions to eliminate or properly warn of these hazards.
- Lack of security. Patrons to the park could be attacked and fatally injured if there is a lack of security.
- Vehicle accidents. Amusement park visitors could be fatally injured in a vehicle accident on the premises by other patrons or even park employees. Negligent operation of vehicles, poor signage or lighting, and more could cause a wrongful death accident.
