We are not afraid to take on a big company like Disney and fight for your rightful award.
Simmrin Law Group’s lawyers have helped many clients in California recover after someone else’s recklessness injured them. We put our clients first and always advocate for their needs.
Theme parks owe a duty of care to their visitors. Although guests assume some risk when entering the park, the park is still responsible for keeping visitors reasonably safe. We will use our decades of legal experience to recover financial awards that pay your losses so you can move forward.
Get Legal Help for a Disneyland Injury Case With No Upfront Fee
Our Disneyland personal injury lawyers can work on your case without requiring you to pay us upfront. We work on contingency, so we get paid a percentage of your financial award only if you recover compensation.
This payment arrangement lowers your financial risk and allows us to start work on your case promptly. Hiring our team will not add to your accident-related expenses. We will cover the costs of your case upfront. We can explain this further during your free consultation.
How does Theme Park Negligence Occur?
Theme parks are responsible for the safe operation of the premises. This includes minimizing risks and ensuring guests have a safe and enjoyable experience. If they fail to do their due diligence, they can be found liable. They are also responsible for anticipating emergencies and having plans in place to respond to them.
Harm can occur when amusement parks:
Fail to Secure Attractions and Rides
If a park features attractions, such as roller coasters, water rides, and competitive sports games, it must ensure they are safe for use. This includes:
- Inspecting rides to ensure restraints and safety harnesses, such as seat belts, work properly.
- Checking that load and capacity limits are followed and that sensors for these limits function.
- Confirming that mechanical systems and electrical systems are fully working.
Fail to Warn About an Attraction’s Risks
Guests may want to get on a ride, but it is the park’s responsibility to warn of the ride’s risks. They must:
- Tell guests if a ride could harm riders with health challenges, such as those with heart problems.
- Warn about a ride’s movements or features that could cause health reactions.
- Inform guests about how to keep themselves safe on a ride, such as keeping their hands or feet inside.
Hire Unqualified or Fail to Train Employees
Theme parks are responsible for hiring workers who can keep the park running smoothly. These entities must perform the proper employee background checks, ensure workers have the right certifications, and train them on safety best practices, among other duties.
Park employees must remain alert, know how to operate all attractions, and how to respond to emergencies. If employees fail in any of these areas, the theme park can be liable.
Ignore Slip and Fall Hazards
Slip and fall accidents are among the common reasons plaintiffs file amusement park lawsuits. Our Disneyland slip and fall accident lawyer can find the park liable if:
- It doesn’t regularly inspect to keep the grounds free of hazards that could cause someone to fall.
- It doesn’t immediately respond to a person who slipped, tripped, or fell.
- It doesn’t clearly mark high-risk areas on the premises that could lead to a fall.
Scenarios involving wet or slippery surfaces, tripping hazards, and lighting can result in slip-and-fall accidents at Disneyland. We will review your situation for the elements of negligence and prove how the amusement park owes you damages.
Our Disneyland Personal Injury Claim Lawyers Will Lead Your Entire Case
First, we must prove that the park is responsible for your injuries and how the accident happened. While you rest and receive treatment, we will take care of your entire case from start to finish.
This means we will:
- Talk with you about the accident and injury to understand what happened.
- Investigate the incident and collect evidence (e.g., a park incident report, medical records, witness testimony, video footage, photographs, expert witness testimony, etc.).
- List all liable parties and determine their role in the accident.
- Assess your financial damages and determine how much compensation to seek for you.
- Negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.
- Prepare and file a lawsuit if we cannot settle your case outside of court.
- Fight for your award at trial, where a judge and jury decide the outcome.
Our Disneyland personal injury lawyers will develop a strategy that addresses all aspects of your case. This can help strengthen the case for maximum compensation.
Injured Guests Can Recover Damages for a Disneyland Injury
We will review the accident and damages you suffered when you got hurt at Disneyland. The kind of injuries suffered and your recovery time will affect how much compensation we can seek.
Common recoverable damages in these cases include:
- Medical expenses (including for emergency care and all ongoing medical treatment)
- Lost income
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Other related damages
Recovering Damages in Fatal Disneyland Accidents
Our Disneyland wrongful death lawyers can seek damages on behalf of families whose loved ones died after suffering amusement park injuries. These losses can include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- The decedent’s medical care expenses
- Loss financial support
- Other related losses
We can explain how wrongful death actions work in California. For example, only certain family members can seek losses in a fatal accident. During a free consultation, we can review your situation and explain the state’s law. Call us today.
You Have a Short Time to Sue Disneyland for Your Damages
California’s statute of limitations deadline limits the time you have to sue for damages. Injured parties filing personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits generally have two years to take legal action, per CCP § 335.1. We will file your lawsuit on time.
Upon review of your situation, we can also tell you if you have more or less time to file. We encourage you to reach out to us now so we can start working for you. If you miss the deadline, the court will bar you from seeking damages.
