Common Accidents at Volcano Bay
Volcano Bay has been the site of serious accidents. In fact, court records revealed over 115 people had been injured on the Punga Racers slide, and one guest was allegedly left paralyzed.
Accidents on attractions are just one of many incidents that could potentially result in Universal being held responsible for an accident at Volcano Bay. Some of the other potential causes of accidents and injuries include:
- Slips and falls on wet surfaces
- Drownings and near drownings
- Contaminated water
- Food safety lapses
- Negligent security
There are different legal arguments to make depending on the specifics of how an accident victim got hurt.
While most of these claims arise out of premises liability laws, which hold property owners liable for losses if they fail to maintain safe premises for visitors, it’s also possible that Universal could be held responsible for the on-the-job negligence of staff members under vicarious liability laws.
You’ll want to document the cause of your accident, get witness contact details, and take pictures at the scene in order to understand how your accident happened and what grounds you have to pursue compensation. Diaco Law can help.
