Water Park Accidents

Water Park Accidents Happen If Rides Are Not Properly Maintained

Orange County is home to some of the state’s most popular water parks. Each year, millions of California locals and tourists travel to spend time at Knott’s Soak City, Great Wolf Lodge, Water Ventures and other area parks.

Water parks can be fun, but they can also be dangerous if not maintained properly. Parks can be equipped with a variety of entertaining features, ranging from splashing pools to lazy river to water slides. When these exciting attractions are misused or lack important safety features, accidents and injuries can happen.

Children Are At The Greatest Risk Of Fatal Water Park Accidents

Children, who can frequently be found enjoying water parks in Orange County, are at an increased risk of suffering fatal injuries. Young children often lack the ability to swim and can potentially drown in even the shallowest pool of water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the leading cause of death among children between the ages of 1 and 4. In fact, 70% of all drowning deaths involve children under the age of 5.

If your child has died in a fatal water park accident, you want to consider filing a wrongful death lawsuit. The water park where your child was injured had a responsibility to make sure that the premises were safe for children. This responsibility required the park to take extra precautions to ensure that the attractions, when used properly, would not put any guests (including children) in harm’s way. If the water park breached this duty in some way (e.g., no lifeguards on duty, no protective fencing surrounding pools, etc.), they can be held financially responsible for your child’s death.
