Amusement Park / Zoo Injuries
Amusement Park Injuries
Florida is home to many large amusement parks, including Disneyland and Universal Studios. Millions of Americans attend these parks, as well as others. Any amusement park that charges for admission to its park and attractions is considered by law to be a "common carrier," just the same as buses, trains, and other modes of transportation who charge a fee. Common carrier laws are very specific and require entities that fall under their statutes to provide the highest degree of care to their attraction riders to ensure their safety. As rides have passengers, the common carrier rides apply. Anyone getting off or on a ride would also be considered a passenger. Any injuries or death while on an amusement park ride would be subject to an investigation as to even the slightest bit of negligence. Injuries that can occur in an amusement park include traumatic brain injuries, fractures, soft tissue injuries and even death. If you have been injured in an amusement park, it is vital you contact Tampa personal injury attorneys from the Law Offices of Smith & Stallworth.
Zoo Injuries
Guests and visitors of zoos are eager to see animals that are normally in the wild. However, as these are dangerous animals, the Zoo has a duty to ensure that all animals displayed are properly enclosed in a safe environment to protect the patrons. At times it can occur that an animal escapes or an animal involved in a show does not respond as intended and a patron is injured or attacked in the process. If you or a loved one has been attacked by an animal in a zoo or otherwise injured due to the negligence of Zoo personnel, our Tampa personal injury attorneys can assist you presenting a claim for damages.
