Child's Play and Personal Injury
Parents everywhere, from Utah to Alabama, will do anything to protect their children. When it comes to neck and back injuries, they are extra cautious. They might be alarmed when they hear that even regular every day activities could be putting children at risk for a serious neck or back injury.
Many organizations and companies offer fun activities for children, but if the company is negligent and the equipment causes a personal injury, the negligent party could be facing a lawsuit. In Utah, there are a host of trampoline parks that offer hours of fun for families at a reasonable price — but some of those companies have recently been linked to serious personal injury cases.
Trampoline parks have few regulations. There have even been a few sad deaths after injuries from trampoline park accidents in recent news. One mother from Arizona is fighting to have legislation passed for increased regulation at trampoline parks. In 2012, her son was seriously injured at a trampoline park. He broke his neck in three places and died three days later. All he did to sustain such an injury was flip from a trampoline into a facility-provided pit.
Reports of head and neck injuries from trampoline parks in Utah and across the country are being filed with personal injury lawyers. Some of these injuries are classified as being serious neck injuries and traumatic brain injuries. LawyersAndSettlements.com tells of a case where a young boy fell through a rip in the trampoline material and hit his head. The injury left him fighting for his life.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there were 94,000 trampoline injuries treated in an emergency room. Between the years 2000 and 2009, there were 22 deaths related to trampolines.
Even if an injured party has signed a liability waiver, the trampoline park is still responsible for maintaining the trampolines and other facilities. If negligence results in a serious injury, the injured party has the right to consult with a personal injury lawyer. Even if there is an inherent risk of participating in activities such as jumping around at a trampoline park, negligence of the trampoline park company increases that risk to an unnecessary level.
If you or your children have been injured in a trampoline park accident, call a local Utah personal injury lawyer to go over your options of settling or going to trial. They will be able to help you get the appropriate amount of compensation for damages.
