Orlando Injury Lawyer Blog

Theme parks and amusement parks, including Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando are great places for the family. Unfortunately, while these theme parks offer a variety of attractions and amusements, they also present hidden dangers to unsuspecting visitors. As Orlando injury lawyers we have represented many innocent visitors who suffered serious injury at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando.

While the details of each theme park injury differ, there are some similarities we have seen. For example, the amusement parks and resorts of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando attract large crowds of visitors. This increases the need for workers to reasonably ensure the premises remain safe and secure. With efforts to increase profits, corporations have a tendency to lay-off workers and may not provide sufficient coverage for its guests.

Another similarity in theme park injury cases is that the visitors are often distracted. Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando are famous for awesome creations, parades and fireworks display. These displays and attractions are meant to captivate their audiences. Therefore, it is important for pedestrian areas and walkways to take this into consideration. Too many times we have seen injury and accidents due to theme park distractions and crowds.

Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando will always be fun places to visit. We hope that each will remember that their guests assume they have done all they should to make their visit a safe one.

Orlando movie theaters, including AMC Theater and Regal Cinemas are wonderful places to go. Unfortunately, as Orlando injury lawyers, we have seen increasing numbers of avoidable injury claims involving AMC Theaters and Regal Cinemas.

Many times these injury claims involve fall hazards. For example, when movie goers are walking down sidewalks and entrance areas, they have a right to a level, even and non-slippery surface. Yet, we have Orlando movie theaters with floors and sidewalks that are broken, uneven and slippery. We also see carpets that are not secured or torn creating trip hazards.

While no one can guarantee that trip and falls, or slip and falls will not happen, Orlando movie theaters, including AMC Theaters and Regal Cinemas can provide safe pedestrian areas to prevent avoidable injury. This is especially true in bathrooms. Bathroom floors should be kept clean, dry and without any debris. Too many times, water on a bathroom floor has caused a movie goer to fall and suffer a serious injury.

In many of our cases, it is important to obtain photographs of the scene of the fall. Unsuspecting injury victims who trust the giant movie theaters to “do the right thing,” may be surprised when the dangerous aisle, floor or sidewalk is cleaned or repaired and the owner or operator denies responsibility.

Most people are decent, hardworking and simply want to be treated fairly. Sadly, Orlando movie theaters do not always do so when injury results from their carelessness. Fortunately, Florida law has permitted us to assist many Orlando injury victims when dangerous floors, sidewalks or parking lots have caused preventable harm.
