Not amused, Amusement Parks

August 23, 2011

Amusement park deaths and injuries have been in the news lately. Today the Buffalo News ran an article about these tragic events. Recently a local Western New York veteran was killed after he fell out of Darien Lake’s ‘Ride of Steel.’

We want everyone to have fun and for some this involves exciting rides. However, to date, there are no federal regulations for amusement park rides.

As a personal injury firm we have handled several cases where people have been injured on amusement park rides.
