Knott’s Berry Farm Lawsuits and Cases

Theme parks, like Knott’s Berry Farm, experience lawsuits and cases quite often. Theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm handle tremendous amounts of people and anytime you have a lot of people in a small space, with mechanical rides, congested areas, etc., accidents happen. In many cases those accidents could have been avoided. Our firm can handle cases and lawsuits at any of the California theme parks, including Knott’s Berry Farm and others.

Accidents that result in theme park lawsuits can happen for many different reasons. Theme park rides and attractions like those at Knott’s Berry Farm can become unsafe or could be operated unsafely. In one such theme park case, our firm represented a client who was a patron at a water park. One of the slides released riders, riding on large tubes, down into a funnel. Because the ride was designed without a safety bar at the top, the ride operator was using their leg to hold back the tubes before they went down into the chute. As a result, the ride operator fell into the chute after the tube of patrons, and the operator’s feet collided at great speed with the back of one of the riders, causing serious short-term back injuries of a “soft tissue” nature. We retained an expert to inspect the video footage and the ride itself, and sued both the theme park and ride manufacturer. Eventually, our firm obtained money from both defendants and resolved the case for $350,000.

In another case against a theme park holding a seasonal event with large crowds, the theme park secured wires in an encased rubber strip taped down to the ground. Due to extensive foot traffic, the tape became undone and the rubber strip became elevated. The client fell and broke a bone. The case resolved for $250,000.

Theme park cases present challenges to lawyers not familiar with product and design defect law, and/or who are not familiar with premises liability cases. Product defects and design defects can either, or both, be responsible for causing injuries to a theme park patron.
