Can I Sue A Trampoline Park For An Injury?
If you or your child suffers a trampoline park injury, you can sue the at-fault party for compensation for all the damages you incurred. At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we can help identify all liable parties and file an insurance claim or an injury lawsuit on your behalf.
Trampoline parks are in nearly every state, allowing families to have fun together and bond. Unfortunately, trampolines pose several risks, and children can suffer various injuries while playing on them. However, before you can sue the park, you must first prove the parties are liable and that they demonstrated negligence that caused your injury.
Who Can I Sue in a Trampoline Park After an Accident?
Determining liability in a trampoline park accident can be challenging because some parks require you to sign a liability waiver that they can use to fight the claim. However, a waiver doesn’t always stand up in court. Signing the form doesn’t exempt the park owners or managers from negligence.
You can consult with Darryl “The Hammer” Isaacs’ injury team to learn how to claim compensation even if you signed a waiver or how to proceed to Sue A Trampoline Park For An Injury. Depending on your case, you can use any of the following people:
- The trampoline manufacturers
- The trampoline park’s business owners and operators
- The trampoline park’s supervisors
- Trampoline parts manufacturer
- The trampoline maintenance company or contractor
Liability in such accidents depends on the accident’s cause. For example, if the accident was due to a faulty part, the trampoline or parts manufacturer could be liable for the accident. Even if your child wanders in the park and uses the trampoline, the park owners or another party can still be responsible for the accident.
