Injuries and Accidents at Disney World

Disney World theme parks bring out millions of visitors every year. The parks employ thousands of workers. There are usually only a few dozen Disney World personal injury lawsuits filed every year, which shows these theme parks are generally safe for visitors and employees. Disney World has a strong incentive to keep all visitors and employees safe and happy. Serious injuries or wrongful deaths can damage the park’s reputation as a safe place for everyone.

Accidents can happen anywhere, even at Disney World. Just because an accident occurs, it does not necessarily mean Disney World is at fault. But sometimes, Disney World is at fault for the injury, and they can be found negligent and be held financially responsible for your injury. The key to winning a personal injury case is proving negligence, which is why most injury victims choose to hire an experienced personal injury attorney to handle their Disney World injury lawsuit.

Due to the fact that Disney World wants to avoid any negative publicity, they have a strong incentive to settle personal injury and wrongful death claims quickly and quietly. We see very few of these cases that go to trial. Most of these cases are settled outside of the courtroom for an undisclosed sum of money.

If you win a Disney World injury or wrongful death lawsuit, you could be entitled to significant financial compensation. Compensation covers your past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, decreased quality of life, and more.

Disney World Florida Slips, Trips, and Falls

Slips, trips, and falls are some of the most common Disney World injuries. People can be careless and fall due to their own clumsiness, and when this happens, Disney is not to blame. But when Disney World fails to maintain safe walking paths in the park, then they could be at fault.

There are numerous scenarios of how people could slip, trip, or fall at Disney World. Leftover food spills in restaurant areas, slippery surfaces, a steep walkway or stairway with no railings, or an unexpected curb that is not marked, or even the boarding area for a water ride being too slick can all lead to serious injuries.

A serious trip, slip, or fall could cause the following injuries:

• Broken bones
• Sprains
• Pulled or torn muscles, ligaments, or tendons
• Cuts, scrapes, lacerations
• Bruising
• Head, neck, back, or spinal injuries
• Joint injuries
• Concussion
• Seizures
• Disability
• Death

Disney World FL Injuries on Rides and Attractions

Sometimes people suffer injuries on Disney World rides, roller coasters, and attractions. Life-threatening injuries can occur when a ride is not designed safely, maintained properly, or when ride operators are not following proper safety procedures. Disney World ride injuries have caused amputations, disabilities, and death.

How injuries can happen on rides or attractions at Disney World Orlando:

• Failure to properly maintain and inspect a ride, resulting in a malfunction that causes serious injury
• Employees not being properly trained on how to safely operate a ride, resulting in an accident that causes injury to a visitor or the employee
• Tram or bus drivers not paying attention, and hitting a bystander or crashing the vehicle
• A roller coaster ride operator that does not properly secure guests in the ride, resulting in severe whiplash, back injury or any other type of injury

Hurt at Disney World Orlando, FL? You Should Preserve Evidence

This advice is not limited to Disney Word injury claims, but all personal injury and wrongful death claims. What do we mean by preserving evidence? Save any photos or video taken during your trip as well as receipts of any purchases made on the property where the accident occurred. Pictures, videos, and receipts can reveal many things that you might not think are useful to your case but really are. It can show if you or a witness were drinking alcohol before an accident (which could affect credibility), help you remember your activities in the days before and after the incident, and provide other details that could help your case.

After you have suffered an injury, document everything you can from the name of the paramedic to actual pictures or videos of your injuries. Reedy Creek Emergency Services provides all paramedic and fire rescue services to Disney. To get your medical records and bills, we can send a written request with a patient authorization to their address in Lake Buena Vista, Florida as well as request the Disney accident/incident report, and send a written request to Disney to preserve all video surveillance of the incident scene.
