Florida is home to many theme parks, with NBCUniversal alone operating multiple different properties, including Universal Studios. While these theme parks provide opportunities for family fun, they can also present serious risks when employees fail to do their jobs or the theme park owners fail to put policies in place to protect visitors.

How do Universal Orlando Accidents Happen?
Universal Studios is owned by NBCUniversal. The company actually owns multiple properties in and around the Orlando area, where incidents can occur that lead to harm. This can include:
- Universal Studios Florida accidents
- Islands of Adventure accidents
- Volcano Bay accidents
- Epic Universe accidents
- Accidents at Universal CityWalk
Universal also has numerous hotels, including Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Loews Sapphire Falls, and Universal Endless Summer Resort.
Many different things can go wrong on these Universal Orlando properties, including:
- Drowning accidents at the waterparks
- Transportation accidents
- Elevator or escalator accidents
- Incidents due to negligent security
- Accidents on rides
- Food poisoning at Universal restaurants
- Slips and falls in the theme parks or on other Universal properties
These are just some of the many potential causes of Universal Studios accidents. Similar to Walt Disney World accidents in Florida, the key to pursuing a claim for damage will be to show that the incident occurred on the premises and was caused by issues with Universal’s employees or policies.
When is NBCUniversal Responsible for Accidents and Injuries at Universal Studios?
As mentioned above, NBCUniversal owns Universal Studios. As a result, the company can sometimes be held legally liable for accidents and injuries that occur on Universal properties. The company could be liable under:
- Vicarious liability laws: These laws hold employers responsible for the on-the-job negligence of employees regardless of the company’s own negligence. If a worker at any Universal property is negligent or violates a safety rule in a way that causes harm to others, this can make NBCUniversal responsible for the resulting damage.
- Negligence or violations of safety rules: If the company itself is negligent in its policies or procedures, this can also result in liability. Examples could include failure to train staff on safe food handling, not following ride maintenance schedules, or providing inadequate security at its theme parks.
Diaco Law will help you to understand the legal arguments that apply in your case to hold Universal Studios liable for losses, and we will fight hard to get you a fair settlement or to win a favorable court verdict so you can have the best chance of making the company pay for the damage you endured.
