Maison Law provides a free case evaluation to all victims of accidents at Belmont Park in San Diego. It’s a no-risk, no-obligation way to learn about the benefits available to you. The owners and operators of Belmont Park must take responsibility when their rides or attractions cause someone to get hurt. We can go over how much your injury may be worth and how to hold an amusement corporation fully accountable.
Do I Need a Lawyer After Suffering an Injury at an Amusement Park?
If you suffer a serious injury at any public place, a California Amusement Park Accident Lawyer can help you secure the evidence you’ll need to force owners to accept responsibility. They should support you fully through recovery. A serious injury can involve anything from a bad cut, a bone fracture, or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
The owners and operators at Belmont Park will have insurance adjusters and corporate lawyers on their side, all paid to try to limit the support you receive after a painful injury. A serious injury will involve additional medical care, and that additional expense will make owners fight even harder to avoid blame. Your Maison Law attorney fully investigates what happened and uses the evidence to hold owners fully accountable. Then your lawyer gets aggressive and demands the most in compensation on your behalf.
What Type of Accidents Should I Watch Out for at Belmont Park?
Belmont Park along Mission Beach continues to be a major attraction for San Diego residents and tourists. The Giant Dipper Roller Coaster is still a big draw for many. But of course, the Belmont Park area has become much more than a theme park.
It’s a place where visitors can encounter many different types of hazards that could cause injuries. They may fall on a puddle of water at a restaurant. Shoppers could trip at a store and hit their heads. The waterpark may be the scene of a tragic drowning.
These are just a few of the dangers that might befall visitors to Belmont Park:
- Ride Malfunction
- Electrical hazards on rides and from cords
- Burn injuries from the metal on rides and from seats
- Waterpark drowning and near-drowning hazards
- Slip-and-fall hazards from food and drink spills
- Stairway, ramp, boardwalk, and sidewalk trip-and-fall obstacles
- Parking Lot hazards
- Negligent Security and crime risk
- An injury along Misson Beach or in the water
These risks and others can lead to devastating accidents. Owners and operators will always deny their liability when someone gets hurt by their negligence, but a premises liability attorney can hold them fully accountable. Your attorney builds a strong case and handles frustrating negotiations with insurance companies while giving you and your family time to focus on healing.
Who Is Responsible If I’m Hurt at Belmont Park?
There may be many parties responsible for a loved one’s injury at an amusement park. Your Maison Law representative will go to work identifying every party that could need to contribute to your family’s support while a loved one heals.
Belmont Park is a place with corporate owners. However, some restaurants and shops in the area will have individual owners who could be liable. There are also state inspectors who certify that rides are safe for parkgoers. If these inspectors make a mistake, a state agency may be liable:
These are just a few of the parties that could be found liable and would have to join in providing compensation to your family:
- Park Owners
- Ride Manufacturers
- Ride Inspectors for The Division of Occupational Safety and Health also known as Cal/OSHA
- Restaurant Owners
- Shop Owners
With the beach and ocean within walking distance, victims might also suffer harm along the sand. An injury caused by the negligence of a city parks department or a state agency could leave San Diego or the State of California legally responsible.
Beware, because filing a claim against a governmental agency will have much shorter deadlines than a normal lawsuit filed against a business. You have up to two years to sue an individual or a business after an injury. But with a government department, you may have just months to file.
City and state governments also enjoy strong protections from litigation. You could have to seek permission simply to file an injury claim. These cases are complex. Allow a Maison Law attorney to work on your side and secure what you’ll need to rebuild your life. Your lawyer would also make sure you met all deadlines so you didn’t forfeit your chance to earn the support you needed.
Compensation Available for Theme Park Accident Victims
Your lawyer files your injury claim once it’s ready and it must include a full list of the recent medical bills you’ve been hit with. Your lawyer also ensures that any hardships you could face in the years ahead are estimated and included. These damages must also be the full responsibility of an amusement park like Belmont Park.
Your lawyer will demand compensation for these and other factors:
- The totals for your hospital care and physical therapy expenses.
- The estimated costs for care in the years to come if you suffer a long-term injury or a permanent physical disability. These are common with theme park accidents that can make amputations necessary and cause brain trauma.
- Travel costs while making doctor’s appointments and going to see specialists. This includes the cost of shuttle services if you can’t be on your feet or drive.
- Non-economic damages such as the physical pain and emotional distress you endure. This includes depression, anxiety, and a loss of enjoyment of life due to your injuries.
- Past and future lost income while you must miss work. Estimates on your lost earning capacity if you have a permanent disability.
- Damage or destruction of property.
- Wrongful death benefits for the families of victims. With the extremely dangerous hazards associated with a theme park, victims can lose their lives. Their close relatives can ask for support for funeral costs and remaining medical bills. They should also receive help in the future when a loved one’s guidance and income may not be available.
