The following are steps to take if you have been involved in a theme park accident:
- Report the Accident: Make sure to report the accident to the ride operator and management at the amusement park. Usually, they will fill out an accident report, take photographs and give you first aid. It is important to explain how your injury happened. If you are aware of witnesses who saw the accident, speak with them and obtain their contact information.
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: If you are experiencing any pain, including mild pain or discomfort, seek immediate medical attention. Usually, the theme park will immediately call first responders to examine you and take you to a hospital, but if they don’t ask for one! If you feel pain at the scene of the accident ask for fire rescue to examine you. Do not worry about the medical bills if you do not have health insurance coverage, the at-fault party is responsible for your medical bills.
