Testimonials
Cancer Diagnosis Hit Our Family Hard
"My cancer diagnosis hit our family hard. Finding out that I was misdiagned made matters worse. Contacting Porter Law Group was my saving grace. From the start, Mike was at my side reassuring me that he would be there for support and guidance. I felt like family. The firm worked hard for my case and was very successful without going to court. I wouldn't have wanted any other team on my side besides Porter Law! Very professional, friendly and very highly regarded in the legal community. Top notch group." - Chriss S.
Excellent Lawyer
"I am extremely fortunate that Porter Law Group took my case after suffering a traumatic brain injury following a serious car accident. For over three years of medical rehabilitation and legal proceedings I worked with the lawyers and staff at the firm. They are a truly solid, forthright, and professional team. In the end, my case progressed to an eight-day civil trial. During the lead-up and long days of the trial itself, I saw firsthand what an outstanding lawyer and person Eric Nordby is. He brought an adept and thorough analytical mind, a principled work ethic, and personal dedication to my case. Eric is a highly skilled negotiator who operates calmly while under pressure. My family and I are privileged to have benefited from Eric’s expertise throughout our experience with the firm, which led to over a million dollars in financial compensation. I cannot recommend him more highly." - Matt H.
Professionalism Exemplified
"Michael represented our family in a medical malpractice suit. From the first consultation to the ultimate award, Michael and his firm handled the case with compassion, understanding and professionalism. He won the case and we were very satisfied with the award. I would unequivocally recommend Michael Porter as a medical malpractice attorney." - Mary G.

Theme parks, thrill rides, and entertainment attractions throughout New York operate under stringent safety regulations designed to protect guests.

Can You Sue for An Accident in Six Flags Darien Lake?

Yes, if you were injured due to a ride at Six Flags Darien Lake or any amusement park in New York State, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. New York law mandates that theme park operators maintain exemplary safety standards and bear responsibility for visitor protection. When these obligations are compromised through negligence or inadequate safety measures, injured parties maintain substantial rights to pursue legal remedies.

These types of injury claims involve a winding maze of legal considerations. Consulting an amusement park accident attorney becomes paramount to deciphering the intricate requirements and developing a comprehensive legal strategy.

What Causes Amusement Park Accidents?

Large-scale theme parks like Six Flags Darien Lake employ complex mechanical and computerized systems that demand meticulous maintenance and skilled operation. Primary factors contributing to accidents include:

  • Sophisticated ride system failures
  • Structural or component deterioration
  • Personnel oversight or insufficient training
  • Inadequate safety inspection procedures
  • Malfunction of advanced restraint systems

For instance, if the computerized control systems on the Tantrum roller coaster fail due to technical issues or maintenance oversights, riders could face severe injury risks from unexpected operational anomalies.

New York Amusement Park Laws

The New York Department of Labor's Division of Safety and Health enforces comprehensive regulations governing theme park operations. Under New York Labor Law Section 870-873, each attraction must undergo thorough annual safety certifications and maintain current operating permits. Parks must conduct detailed daily inspections and maintain comprehensive maintenance records. Non-compliance can trigger substantial penalties, immediate operational suspension, and potential criminal prosecution if negligence results in guest injury.

What Damages Can You Recover in an Amusement Park Accident?

Victims of theme park accidents may qualify for substantial compensation addressing various damages:

  • Emergency and long-term medical expenses
  • Lost income and career impact
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Psychological trauma treatment
  • Rehabilitation and therapy services
  • Permanent disability compensation
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Personal property losses

Don't navigate the complexities of theme park injury claims alone. The Porter Law Group's experienced attorneys excel in handling large-scale amusement park accident cases and will work tirelessly to secure maximum compensation for your injuries. Our firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis, ensuring you pay nothing unless we achieve a favorable outcome.
