Amusement Ride Accidents

Houston, Texas Amusement Park Accident Lawyers

Handling Amusement Park Ride Injury Cases Nationwide

Owners and operators of amusement parks, carnivals and fairs are financially responsible for injuries that occur as a result of safety violations, improper ride maintenance and operator error on their property. While carnivals and amusement parks should comply with licensing requirements and safety inspection schedules, not all do so.

At the Law Firm of Alton C. Todd, our Houston accident attorneys work with safety experts and investigators to determine the cause of a carnival or amusement park accident. We expose poor maintenance, improperly calibrated cables, malfunctioning motors and failed safety belts. We also review the training and background of ride operators to ensure that they received proper training and were given a drug and alcohol screening test before being hired.

We know how to uncover negligence and hold amusement park and carnival operators liable for injuries that occur on their premises. To schedule a free consultation, contact the amusement park accident attorneys at the Law Firm of Alton C. Todd today.
