Maison Law provides a free case evaluation to all victims of accidents at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles. It’s a no-risk, no-obligation way to learn about the benefits available to victims and their families. The owners and operators of Six Flags must take responsibility when their waterpark attractions cause someone to get hurt. We can go over how much a victim’s injury may be worth and how to hold Six Flags fully accountable.
Do I Need a Lawyer After an Accident at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor?
If you suffer a serious injury on a day at any waterpark, and the accident could have been prevented, you should speak with a California Amusement Park Accident Lawyer about your options. If a loved one, perhaps a child, is tragically killed due to the negligence of Six Flags, you should speak to a lawyer.
You or your family might be in desperate need of financial support after an accident, but Six Flags will have corporate lawyers working to limit the help the amusement park must provide. They may even convince you your family isn’t owed anything at all for what happened. In some cases, lawyers will attempt to blame you for your accident.
Your Maison Law attorney is a safeguard against this type of shady treatment. Your lawyer collects all available evidence to build a strong case and then demands the most possible from Six Flags and its insurance providers.
What Are the Biggest Dangers While at Hurricane Harbor?
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is a favorite destination for people across Southern California. Its location, beside Six Flags Magic Mountain, just north of Los Angeles in Valencia, makes it a central spot for people wanting thrills.
One look at the amazing sprinklers at Splash Island or hearing the screams from Black Snake Summit tell you why kids and adults line up in their swimsuits. But there are hazards to beware of at any waterpark. Sometimes it’s the steep drops that put guests in danger of a head wound. It may be a reckless guest who creates the accident risk. The staff at Hurricane Harbor might also make a mistake that leaves a parkgoer with a life-threatening injury.
These are just a few of the dangers that a day at Hurricane Harbor may present:
- Lack of lifeguards and lack of training for lifeguards
- Drowning risks and the health consequences of a near-drowning
- Waterslide and water tube risks such as head injuries
- Getting stuck on a water ride
- Neck or back injuries
- Harm caused by the actions of reckless guests
- Exposure to harmful chemicals like Chlorine
- Water drain and machinery inspection and maintenance negligence
- Slip-and-fall hazards like spilled drinks and pool water in bathrooms and around rides
- Dangerous stairwells and broken handrails, trip-and-fall hazards
- Parking Lot hazards
- Negligent Security and crime risk
Who is Liable If I’m Injured During a Trip to Six Flags?
Waterpark owners and operators must show a “duty of care” to all guests and visitors. It’s all covered under California’s “premises liability” laws. It means that corporate owners and operators of Six Flags are responsible for the safety of every person who walks through the gate.
Managers and employees must monitor for hazards the park staff creates and for the risks that other guests create. These dangers must be removed or fixed in a reasonable amount of time before a guest can get hurt.
When this duty isn’t met, and someone gets hurt, Six Flags is liable for helping victims with their physical, emotional, and financial damages. Victims and their families are empowered to file injury claims and seek full compensation for their medical costs and many other hardships.
Six Flags is liable, but they won’t make earning support easy. An amusement park accident lawyer would file a claim for damages and demand the most possible in the form of a waterpark injury settlement check. If Six Flags continued to deny blame, a skilled lawyer would have the evidence ready to file a lawsuit and take the corporate owners to court to demand what’s fair.
Can I Sue Six Flags If I Signed an Injury Waiver Form?
Six Flags makes ticketholders sign waiver forms with each ticket purchase. You may not even notice that you’ve agreed to their terms, but every parkgoer must sign off electronically.
These waivers protect corporate owners from some liability in accidents. However, these liability waivers only protect Six Flags from lawsuits filed over reasonable risks people might face when in the water or when traveling among crowds.
When Six Flags’ negligence creates hazards that go beyond normal risks, the park is still fully liable for the wellbeing of visitors. Your Maison Law attorney will be gathering evidence to show that Six Flags neglected its duty to keep you and your family safe.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Receive After an Injury at a Waterpark?
If you or a family member are hurt during a waterpark day, your lawyer will be researching and listing every hardship you’ve faced. That can include the totals on massive hospital bills that arrive in your mailbox, and your lost time and paychecks while missing work.
Your Maison Law lawyer will take care to seek compensation for your current damages and those damages that may come in the years ahead:
- The totals for your hospital care and physical therapy expenses.
- The estimated costs for care in the years to come if the victim suffers a long-term injury or a permanent physical disability.
- Additional support for child victims. Children with broken bones, head trauma, or brain damage from a near drowning should receive care for as long as necessary. Childhood injuries can heal but it’s hard to predict when they might flare up as a victim’s body begins to grow into adulthood. Injuries can flare up and bones can heal incorrectly only to be problematic later. Young victims will need money to pay for surgeries and physical therapy down the road.
- Travel costs while making doctor’s appointments and going to see specialists. This includes the cost of shuttle services if victims are in wheelchairs or on crutches.
- Non-economic damages such as the physical pain and emotional distress victims endure. This includes depression, anxiety, and a loss of enjoyment of life due to your injuries.
- Past and future lost income while victims must miss work. Estimates on lost earning capacity for victims who suffer permanent disabilities.
- Support for property damage.
- Wrongful death benefits for the families of victims. With the extremely dangerous hazards associated with waterparks, 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 financial support will be lost.
- Wrongful Death Benefits for Parents. The families of children lost to drowning should also receive support for the loss of care and companionship they’ll have to cope with for the rest of their lives.
