Protect Your Rights After an Accident with a Universal Studios Florida Injury Lawyer

Florida has what you might consider to be surprising laws regarding the reporting of injuries at amusement parks like Universal Studios. A Florida amusement park is required by state law to report an injury in only a very limited number of circumstances. If a person dies at a Florida amusement park, it must be reported. If a person is injured at a Sunshine State amusement park, it needs to be reported only if the victim is immediately transported to a hospital and must remain there for at least 24 hours for treatment, and not just observation.

The construction of Florida law is such that there is a lack of truly reliable information about the true nature and extent of injuries that occur at amusement parks in the state each year. With that understood, a person like you suffers an amusement park injury in Florida with alarming frequency.

Types of Injuries at Universal Studios Florida

Broken bones, bruises, lacerations, puncture wounds, soft tissue damage, brain injury, and spinal cord injury highlight the list of the types of injuries sustained by individuals visiting Universal Studios Florida. Other types of injuries include ride-induced heart attacks or strokes.

In addition to these various types of physical injuries, psychological issues have been reported as a result of attractions at Universal Studios Florida. For example, a person involved in an accident on a Universal Studios ride may end up suffering from both physical and psychological injuries.

Attractions at Universal Studios Florida on which incidents have been reported involving park patrons include:

• The Simpsons Ride
• Revenge of the Mummy
• Men in Black: Alien Attack
• Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
• Horror Make Up Show
• The Incredible Hulk
• Dragon Challenge
• Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls

Keep in mind that other types of accidents occur at Universal Studios Florida, including slip and fall incidents and cases involving contaminated food products. An injury lawyer can assist with all manner of injuries, losses, and damages sustained at a Florida amusement park, including Universal Studios and Disney properties.

Compensation for Injuries, Losses and Damages

The nature and extent of compensation possible in a case involving an injury at Universal Studios Florida is contingent on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding a particular accident. With that said, two types of losses typically involve compensation in an amusement park injury case: medical expenses and pain and suffering.

The reality is that an accident at an amusement park can result in you being left with a considerable amount in medical bills. In addition, you may end up having to endure significant pain.

In many cases, medical care and treatment extends for an indefinite period of time. It very well may include physical therapy, perhaps even occupational therapy. With the aid and assistance of a skilled Universal Studios Florida injury lawyer, like a member of the legal team at The Doan Law Firm, you will be able to seek not only compensation for existing losses, but recovery for losses, including medical bills and pain and suffering, you reasonably can be expected to face in the future. The Doan Law Firm can be reached at (800) 349-0000.

A personal injury lawyer may also be able to assist you in obtaining additional compensation for your losses in an amusement park injury lawsuit. In the United States, an injured person oftentimes can see what are known as punitive damages in a lawsuit. Punitive damages are awarded when the action, or inaction, of the third party causing an accident are considered particularly reckless of egregious.

Punitive damages are designed to not only provide additional compensation, but to punish an amusement park for particularly dangerous conduct. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, nothing ever really fully restores a sense of justice when a person is injured. However, punitive damages do provide an element of justice in some cases.

The Doan Law Firm does not charge you an attorney fee in an amusement park accident case unless the firm obtains compensation for you through a settlement or judgment in your case. The fee is a reasonable, agreed-to percentage of a settlement or judgment.
