For those of us who call Southern California home, one the greatest benefits is having local access to several amusement parks, including Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott’s Berry Farm. Unfortunately, while many of these parks are world renowned for their fun and excitement, amusement park accidents and injuries occur when a park fails to properly protect their guests’ safety.
The Los Angeles Times obtained data covering Southern California amusement park injury numbers, such as roller coaster accident statistics, from 2007 to 2012 for a 2013 article it published about theme park accidents. The LA Times’ findings revealed:
On an annual basis, it is estimated that over 40 million people visit Southern California’s most popular amusement parks, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations. With that kind of traffic flowing through their facilities, theme park owners and operators are well aware that accidents can and will happen. Therefore, these facilities make it a point to be very well prepared to defend themselves against injury and wrongful death claims, including employing insurance companies and armies of lawyers. This can leave theme park accident victims outmatched unless they have an experienced amusement park accident lawyer on their side.
Our personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles can provide amusement park accident survivors and the families of those who suffered a wrongful death due to theme park negligence with several crucial benefits, such as:
Amusement parks and their insurance companies expect accident and injuries will happen and put measures in place including denying serious claims in an attempt to take as little responsibility as possible if their negligence was the cause. Victims and their families need to talk to a theme park accident lawyer as soon as they can after suffering an injury in an amusement park or losing a loved one due to a theme park’s negligence.
A personal injury lawyer can review a victim’s case and determine if they have a claim. If victims do have a claim, it is crucial they pursue a case immediately because every second they waste evidence valuable to proving their case could be lost.

Attorney Glotzer has dedicated his career to pursuing justice for his clients and will work tirelessly to seek the proper compensation for a client as provided under the law to hold those who hurt them accountable and has the case results to prove it.
