Verkhovets Law, Toronto amusement park injury lawyers, advise that there are various possible amusement park injury claims – so going it alone can feel like stumbling through a House of Mirrors. The owner, employees, and ride manufacturers can be held liable individually – or in combination – to compensate for damages you or your loved one has suffered from an accident they caused.
Even if the victim is partially to blame.
Wait, what? Can my child be held responsible for part of his accident? Yes. But not all is lost.
Our Toronto amusement park injury lawyers know how to argue that while your child may have contributed to their injury by standing on a ride, s/he’s possibly not 100 per cent at fault – the operator should have known s/he was too small to be on it. So, you’ll receive a percentage of the damages award rather than the full amount.
While it might feel like riding a roller coaster is your last day on earth, the odds of dying are one in 750 million. Indeed, fatalities do happen – so it rarely becomes a news story. But, while deaths are few, there are a range of amusement park injuries. The Toronto amusement park injury lawyers at Verkhovets Law understand the consequences of an amusement park accident can adversely affect the rest of a victim’s life.
It’s not all about the rides – even concession stand food poisoning can lead to short-term lost income or become long-term, because you can develop chronic arthritis, nerve damage, or kidney failure from it.
Back in 2013, at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) fairgrounds in Toronto, 79 people became very ill with food poisoning caused by staphylococcus aureus, a known toxin. The culprit was the “Maple Bacon Jam” that topped the Cronut Burger—a hamburger patty between two crueller donuts. The jam should have been refrigerated and wasn’t, according to CTV News.
