CALIFORNIA WATER PARK LAWYERS

Every water park injury case is different. The value of your case will depend on the facts of the accident, the severity of your injuries, and the degree of fault of the responsible party. However, you could recover the following damages as well as others:

• The costs of medical treatment and future medical treatment
• Loss of income and future loss of income
• Emotional and physical pain and anguish
• Loss of enjoyment
• Out-of-pocket expenses

A personal injury lawyer can assess your damages and inform you of the approximate worth of your water park injury case.

An attorney can establish whether you could hold a water park to account for your injury and expenses. In some cases, injuries can occur due to our own carelessness or clumsiness. When this happens, individuals generally do not have legal recourse. However, a water park can be responsible, for example, when:

• The water park owner failed to maintain the premises adequately
• Water park slides and other equipment was defective or damaged
• Staff did not enforce height or weight restrictions for rides and slides
• There were not enough lifeguards present
• Lifeguards made an error or failed to assist in an emergency
• There were no warnings about potential hazards
• Pools and slides were dangerously overcrowded

If you or your child got hurt due to negligence of a water park’s employees, management, or owner, you could have legal recourse and recover compensation.

When you intend to hold a water park to account for your injuries, there are two important points to consider. Firstly, according to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you should file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of your accident and injury in California. Missing the deadline could leave you without legal recourse and unable to receive any compensation for your losses. 

Secondly, if you suffered significant or catastrophic injuries, it is best to wait with filing suit until you reach full or maximum medical recovery, if possible. Filing a lawsuit immediately after the accident may not work to your advantage, as your doctor or attorney may not be able to estimate your future medical costs and income losses correctly. 

Since determining the correct timing for a lawsuit can be tricky yet crucial for recovering an adequate settlement, consider speaking to one of our experienced personal injury attorneys who can figure out the best possible time for filing your lawsuit.

If you suffered an injury due to another’s fault, you should not have to worry about having to pay attorney’s fees. Most personal injury lawyers work with a so-called “contingency fee arrangement,” which means that you do not have to pay attorney’s fees unless you win the case. However, you may still be responsible for miscellaneous court costs, such as the court filing fee, costs of transcriptions, and fees for expert witnesses.
