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.

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.

Can You Sue for An Accident in Victorian Gardens?

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.

What Causes Amusement Park Accidents?

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:

  • Equipment failure resulting from inadequate maintenance
  • Structural or manufacturing defects
  • Staff negligence or insufficient training
  • Incomplete safety inspections
  • Malfunctioning safety restraints or protective equipment

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.

New York Amusement Park Laws

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.

What Damages Can You Recover in an Amusement Park Accident?

Victims of amusement park incidents may qualify for substantial compensation to address their injuries and related hardships. Recoverable damages typically include:

  • Immediate and long-term medical care costs
  • Income loss and diminished earning potential
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Psychological trauma and distress
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation expenses
  • Permanent impairment compensation
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Personal property damage

Don't face the aftermath of an amusement park injury alone. The Porter Law Group's seasoned personal injury attorneys excel in handling complex accident claims and will work relentlessly to secure fair compensation for your injuries. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, ensuring you pay nothing unless we successfully resolve your case.
