What You Need to Know About Go-Kart and Amusement Park Accidents

According to the Saferparks Database, go-kart accidents account for the highest rate of hospital admissions at amusement parks, representing approximately 8% of all reported admissions. By comparison, injuries from inflatable devices and waterslides account for only 6% and 2%, respectively. Most go-kart injuries occur due to collisions with other vehicles or impacts with walls and barriers on the track. If you or a loved one has been hurt, the go kart amusement park accident attorneys in Pennsylvania at Kwartler Manus can investigate the cause, determine liability, and fight for compensation for medical bills and long-term injuries.

Injuries from go-kart accidents include:

  • Lacerations
  • Facial injuries
  • Head injuries
  • Muscle sprains and strains
  • Neck injuries
  • Internal bleeding
  • Contusions and abrasions

While these are some commonly reported injuries, other serious conditions can result from a go-kart accident. The force of the impact with a wall or other car can cause whiplash, broken bones, and soft tissue injuries, as well as concussions and other brain trauma. Statistics show that boys between the ages of 7 and 12 suffer the most injuries from go-cart accidents at amusement parks, but teens and adults are also at risk.

Who May Be Liable for an Amusement Park Accident?

If you or a loved one sustain an injury from a go-kart ride or from another ride at an amusement park, it is important to seek compensation. Depending on the situation, you may be able to get a financial settlement for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other injury-related expenses. At Kwartler Manus, LLC, we know you are going through a stressful time. We can stand by your side and provide informative legal services every step of the way.

If you are injured in a go-kart accident at an amusement park, the following people may be liable:

  • Ride operator
  • Park employee
  • Go-kart manufacturer

Ride operators and park employees must provide adequate safety warnings and operating instructions to go-kart riders. If they negligently fail to do so, and a rider is injured, they may be held liable in a lawsuit. Park employees also have a responsibility to perform regular inspections of the go-kart track. This can help ensure there are no unsafe conditions, such as debris on the track, that could cause a crash. If the ride operators and park employees negligently fail to uphold their duty of care to riders, or act carelessly and cause an accident, they may be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit.

Furthermore, if the go-kart itself malfunctions and injures a rider, the manufacturer may be held responsible. A product defect or safety hazard inherent in the go-kart itself may point to improper design or manufacturing. If you or a loved one is injured because of a defective go-kart, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the company in charge of producing and manufacturing the vehicle itself.
