Theme Park Injury Attorney Notes that Halloween Productions, Operator of Creepyworld, Already has Pending Litigation Following other Haunted Attraction Injuries
Theme park injury attorney notes that the incident involving the critically injured teen actor found hung at Creepyworld isn't the first major injury accident related to Halloween Productions.
On Halloween in 2009, Brittney Holmes, then 15, visited The Darkness, a sister theme park to Creepyworld. Brittney Holmes suffered from asthma. She died in November 2010 after a year spent in a vegetative state. Her parents have filed a lawsuit claiming that the scents and artificial fog pumped into The Darkness caused Brittney's death.
In October 2011, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit approximately five years after a fight erupted among those waiting in line at The Darkness. According to the lawsuit, Sheila Mae Williamson received brain injuries from the fight so severe that she now requires continuous nursing supervision.
Our theme park injury attorneys recognize that probably no theme park where the public gathers in large numbers can remain completely free of injuries and accidents. And the two lawsuits listed here may involve some wrangling over comparative, contributory negligence before all is said and done.
But the recent case of the actress hung at work presents a more clear-cut case of negligence. However the actress came into contact with the noose, using a viable noose as a prop in a public theme park shows a wanton, even shocking disregard for safety.
The theme park injury attorneys at Denena & Points believe that the injured young actress and her family have a solid cause of action against the theme park and its owners for their negligence. There may be other parties at fault in the matter too. As yet, the sequence of events and actions leading up to the discovery of the actress hanging from the noose remain unclear.
