Understanding Liability and Duty of Care in Theme Parks
Theme parks are generally bound by premises liability laws, which require them to ensure their premises, including rides and facilities, are safe for visitors. In addition to this, Theme parks will be subject to various health and safety laws and regulations. Such laws or regulations can include maintaining rides, providing safety instructions, and keeping the park grounds free from hazards. If a theme park fails in these duties, and you are injured as a result, they may be held liable, and agree to pay compensation to you to compensate for your injuries. This is where our No Win No Fee Solicitors come in. Below, we have outlined the steps to take following an injury at a theme park, and explained how we can help with your injury compensation claim.
Steps to Take Following an Injury
Seek Medical Attention:
Your health is paramount. Ensure that you or your injured family member receives appropriate medical treatment immediately.
Report the Incident:
Inform theme park management about the accident as soon as possible.
Document Everything:
Take photographs of the accident scene and your injuries. Collect names and contact information of any witnesses.
Keep Records:
Retain all documentation related to the incident, including medical records and records of expenses incurred due to the injury.
Making a Compensation Claim
The responsibility for ensuring guests’ safety lies with the theme park operators. If you are injured due to their negligence, such as due to their failings in maintaining health and safety standards, you can pursue a claim for compensation. This includes situations where the injury was caused by poorly maintained rides, inadequate safety instructions, or hazardous conditions within the park.
Children injured at theme parks can also be subjects of compensation claims, which parents or guardians can initiate on their behalf. If a claim is not started by the minor’s parents, the child has until three years after their 18th birthday to make a claim themself.

This includes medical reports, photographs, witness statements, and any records of financial losses incurred due to the accident. The clearer the evidence of negligence and resulting injury, the stronger your claim will be. Whilst you will need to provide some of the evidence yourself, such as photographs of the injury, and your financial losses, some of the evidence will be obtained by our No Win No Fee Solicitors, such as medical records.
Compensation Amounts
Compensation for theme park injuries varies based on the injury severity and the impact on the victim’s life. Factors considered include pain and suffering, medical costs, and any loss of earnings. Legal professionals may refer to guidelines like those provided by the Judicial College, or past cases they have settled as reference points. In some cases, it can be necessary to obtain the opinion of experts, such as counsel, to draw upon their advice and experience in assessing the potential value of a claim.
