Disney World Accidents and Injuries

Each year, millions of people from around the world flock to Florida and other locations around the world to enjoy many of the Disney World and more of the nation’s spectacular theme and amusement parks. That vast majority leave with memories that last a lifetime: a safe visit with smiles for the entire family. However, there are other people who are left with other lasting impressions from these parks in the form of serious injuries that happened due to negligence on the part of the amusement park. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) routinely conducts surveys of mobile and fixed site amusement park injuries and fatalities. CPSC data collected from 1987 through 2002 suggest that nearly 5 people a year die on amusement rides. Unfortunately, beyond the information in these CPSC reports and a few other surveys conducted, very little is known about the true frequency of serious injuries at parks like Disney World, Universal, and other Orlando and Central Florida parks. The parks find that it is in their best interests to keep the statistics secret, since they do not want reports about accidents marring their images. A Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer can help people who have been the victim of accidents at amusement and theme parks. Because of the secretive nature of the parks, it requires experience and persistence on the part of an attorney to get to the bottom of accidents. At David W. Singer and Associates, P.A., we help people who had an expectation of safety at amusement parks and were shocked to find out first hand that injuries do happen. We help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve to get their lives back on track.
