Do I Need a Lawyer After an Accident at Great Wolf Lodge?
If you suffer a serious injury while staying at a Great Wolf Lodge, and the accident could have been prevented, you should speak with a California hotel accident lawyer about your options. If a loved one, perhaps a child, is tragically taken from you due to the negligence of the Great Wolf Lodge, you should speak to a lawyer.
Like all resorts and waterparks, Great Wolf Lodge has the money to afford the protection of corporate lawyers. After you or a loved one has been hurt, these legal representatives go to work trying to limit the support Great Wolf Lodge will have to pay out. They may even convince you your family isn’t owed anything at all for what happened. In some cases, Great Wolf Lodge 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 Great Wolf Lodge and its insurance providers.
What Types of Danger Are Found at Great Wolf Lodge?
Great Wolf Resort locations in Garden Grove and Manteca give families some great ways to enjoy a weekend or an entire week. The lodge combines the best of all worlds for visitors. It’s a resort, a hotel, a fun park, an arcade, and an indoor waterpark.
There are restaurants and gift shops all under one roof. It’s a very convenient way for families to bundle their fun, but there are also plenty of dangers in and out of the water.
Hotels and theme parks must show a “duty of care” to all guests and visitors. It means that the Great Wolf Lodge’s owners are responsible for the safety of every person who walks across the parking lot and enters the resort. Managers must monitor for hazards Great Wolf Lodge employees create 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, corporate owners are liable for the damage their employees cause or allow to occur. Victims and their families are empowered to file injury claims and seek full compensation for their medical costs and many other damages.
Great Wolf Resorts bear this liability when it doesn’t protect guests from these and other hazards in their hotels and waterparks:
Lodge and Resort Dangers
- Slip-and-fall hazards like spilled drinks in walkways and restaurants
- Injuries around arcade machines, rides, and on obstacle courses
- Faulty stairwells and broken handrails
- Extremely hot water causing burns in bathrooms
- Burns and shocks from exposed wiring and faulty outlets
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning
- Parking Lot hazards
- Security risks and criminal threats
Waterpark Dangers
- Lack of lifeguards and lack of training for lifeguards
- Drowning risks
- Waterslide injuries
- Getting stuck on a water ride
- Slip-and-fall dangers near pools and in locker rooms
- Neck or back injuries
- Harm caused by the actions of reckless guests
- Exposure to harmful chemicals like Chlorine
- Negligent Security and crime risk
Great Wolf Lodge’s corporate owners will be trying to escape the blame for these hazards and they’ll have lawyers and insurance adjusters to help them. At Maison Law, we want to handle the frustrating claims process with such a large company while you get time to focus on healing. You can rest easy that your hospital bills won’t be your worry.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Receive After an Injury at Great Wolf Resorts?
Great Wolf Resorts does a lot to keep its guests safe, but there are always going to be instances where managers and employees get careless. This lack of caution can lead to devastating accidents for victims of all ages. It’s unfortunate, but innocent victims should never have to go into debt to pay for their medical bills.
Children are especially vulnerable to injuries, and even tragic drownings when businesses get reckless or try to cut costs by compromising on safety.
Victims and their families might need help paying current emergency room bills and the week or months of medical costs that lie ahead. They might need lifelong support after suffering a major injury that causes a physical disability that will change their lives forever. Families could require help after a loved one is suddenly taken from their lives.
Your lawyer will take care to seek compensation for every hardship you endure and will endure:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
