Texas Amusement Park Injury Law

In Texas, amusement parks operate under the safety laws of the Texas Department of Insurance. Despite state laws and the best efforts taken by ride operators and park owners to maintain standards and enact safety measures, accidents happen.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), factors that most often contribute to amusement park injuries are:

• Mechanical failures such as missing safety pins, broken welds or structural components, exposed electrical wires, malfunctioning lap bars or other safety restraints or failure to shutoff.
• Operator Behavior: abruptly stopping the ride, improperly assembling or maintaining the ride.
• Consumer behavior: intentionally rocking cars, standing up, defeating safety restraints, sitting improperly, holding a child above the safety restraint.
• Other: rides that injure people while apparently functioning normally, without any unusual behavior on the part of the consumer or operator. For example, eye hemorrhage.
• Combination: operator suddenly stopping a ride when he heard an unusual thumping sound due to a bent rail.

If you or a family member has been injured at an amusement park, it is important to consult an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. If your claim is not filed within set time limits, you may not be able to recover damages.
