The operation of amusement parks, carnival rides, and family attractions in New York falls under stringent safety regulations designed to protect visitors of all ages. While Victorian Gardens maintains high safety standards, the inherent risks associated with any amusement facility cannot be overlooked. When accidents occur at amusement parks, the consequences can be severe and life-altering. Victims may suffer devastating injuries ranging from severe fractures and head trauma to spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, and in the most tragic circumstances, loss of life.
Should you or a family member experience an injury while visiting Victorian Gardens, whether due to equipment malfunction, operational oversight, or management negligence, the Porter Law Group stands ready to advocate for your rights. Our dedicated team of personal injury attorneys possesses the expertise to thoroughly assess your situation and guide you through the process of seeking appropriate compensation.
Yes, if you were injured due to a ride at Victorian Gardens or any amusement park in New York State, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. New York State law mandates that amusement park operators maintain the highest standards of safety and care for their patrons. When these standards are compromised through negligence or inadequate maintenance, injured parties retain the right to seek legal remedies for damages incurred.
Recovering compensation is a complex matter, however. There are numerous requirements and technicalities to deal with in these cases, which is why it is important to contact an amusement park accident attorney who can walk you through your legal options, and explain the details thoroughly.
Even smaller-scale amusement facilities like Victorian Gardens utilize complex mechanical systems that require meticulous maintenance and operation. When proper protocols are neglected, dangerous situations can arise. Common causes of amusement park incidents include:
For example, if a safety harness fails on Victorian Gardens' Flying Swan ride due to improper inspection, a child could sustain serious injuries from an unexpected fall.
The New York Department of Labor's Division of Safety and Health enforces comprehensive regulations governing amusement park operations. Under New York Labor Law Section 870-873, every amusement ride must undergo rigorous annual safety inspections and maintain current operating permits. Parks must conduct daily safety checks before opening and maintain detailed records of all inspections and maintenance work. Non-compliance can lead to hefty penalties, immediate closure orders, and potential criminal liability if negligence results in injury.
Victims of amusement park incidents may qualify for substantial compensation to address their injuries and related hardships. Recoverable damages typically include:
