Richmond area theme parks should take notice of a recent
article in the
Orlando Sentinel. The vast majority of law suits brought against Florida theme parks are related to injuries suffered from
slip and fall accidents. Theme parks offer so many services (transportation, dining, shopping, animal shows, live entertainment, and mechanical attractions) to thousands of people every day that it is no surprise injuries arise during the course of business. Nonetheless, the large jury verdicts and settlement amounts awarded in successful claims for
slip and fall injuries will likely grab the attention of Ashland's
King's Dominion and Williamsburg's
Busch Gardens.
