What types of injuries usually result from U.S. roller coaster accidents?
A: Our roller coaster accident attorneys mention that the injuries you're most likely to hear about in the news are the fatal injuries that result from catastrophic accidents. But most roller coaster accident injuries are non-fatal and range from the most minor ones to serious and permanently disabling injuries. These injuries include:
- Falls from the roller coaster that break bones, cause head traumas, or result in paralysis;
- Skull fractures, head traumas, and brain injuries;
- Back and cervical spine injuries from a roller coaster car impact;
- Injuries received because of unsafe ride entries and exits;
- Cardiac arrest from the thrill of the ride and its strong g-forces;
- Disfigurement;
- Tearing or crushing injuries from being trapped or caught by ride equipment; and
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia.
After a serious ride injury, it's important to consult with an experienced roller coaster accident attorney to determine the extent of your injuries. Your attorney will also work to identify all of the parties at fault for causing your roller coaster accident injuries. You must identify all of the liable parties such as ride owners and operators and venue property owners so that you have the opportunity to obtain a just financial recovery in compensation for your costly roller coaster accident injuries.
