Amusement Park Insurance

There are many scenarios in which you need liability insurance to help protect you from lawsuits and costly claims. Here are several common examples:

• someone slips and falls on a wet surface
• an employee accidentally hits a customer’s car in the parking lot
• a ride malfunctions and someone injures themselves
• someone alleges they were exposed to a communicable disease while at the amusement park
• an employee fails to provide adequate safety instructions to a customer

The first amusement park lawsuit example involves an alleged injury in Colorado. A visitor raised their arm on a wooden roller coaster which then smacked against the track. The visitor ended up having a severely fractured left wrist and sued the amusement park, seeking undisclosed monetary damages. The lawsuit alleges that seatbelts on (the roller coaster) “were not functioning properly” and “failed to properly secure (the rider) in the seat”. As reported by The Denver Post.

Another example includes a wrongful death lawsuit. NPR reports that A 6-year-old girl fell to her death after ride operators failed to properly check her seatbelts. The child was sitting on top of 2 seatbelts previously buckled on the ride instead of wearing them properly. There is an alarm system to warn workers of the issue but the 2 workers were hired within the past 2 months and were not properly trained to fix the issue.

The last example is a ride malfunction at the Ohio State Fair. According to CNN, a ride malfunctioned on opening day which killed 1 person and injured several others. According to the report, parts of the structure, including a full row of seats, split up and fell. Investigators determined corrosion had weakened the arm of the gondola that snapped off mid-swing. The lawsuit alleges that the maker of the ride designed a defective product and that they had learned of the defect earlier on but fraudulently and intentionally concealed that information.
