If you or someone you love has been seriously injured on a trampoline then you might have suffered a Trampoline injury lawsuit. Trampoline accidents can result in serious injuries including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, concussions, lacerations, and traumatic brain injuries. In the event of an accident one of these injuries will almost certainly result in a lawsuit. Trampoline injuries are often caused by faulty design, careless playing, and other factors. The odds are stacked heavily against the victims in trampoline accidents because the manufacturer knows that the device is dangerous and does not try to warn consumers.
When considering filing a Trampoline lawsuit one of the first things to ask yourself is “Who is at fault?”
The owner of the property should always be considered to be at fault if there was a product defect and someone got hurt as the result of the defective product. If the property owner did not design the equipment properly then it is likely they did not know about the potential problems with the equipment. This is why most states require a premises liability policy that all homeowners purchase before they are allowed to purchase or rent a structure. The premise liability policy lists who is at fault for injuries on the property, so if it is your fault for an injury on the property then you may be able to sue the property owner.
Another factor that can help you determine if you should sue is the situation surrounding the accident. If the trampoline was advertised as being safe for multiple simultaneous users then you should not be sued. The reasoning behind this is that if there was only one user or group of users then the chances of them getting hurt due to a faulty machine is slim to none since multiple simultaneous users are generally safe. Therefore, if you purchased the trampoline and then a bunch of kids started playing on it then it is likely you could get sued.
Some states have put into place special laws pertaining to trampoline injuries and for those injuries that were caused by the equipment or negligence of the property owner or operator you may be able to file a claim.
In some states, if there was actual physical damage to the trampoline it may be easier to sue because of the fact that the law clearly says that if more than one person gets injured then it is an injury due to negligence. For example, if a girl was playing on the trampoline and got severely injured then in this case it would be easy to file a claim.
Some people like to go into trampoline parks when they are not using the equipment.
For those individuals who do not use the equipment then there is a danger that other people may come onto the property unsupervised and injure themselves. This can often lead to lawsuits for those who were injured as a result of the other person’s negligence. In these cases the owners of the parks are often found liable and their liability insurance paid out.
So if you or a loved one have been injured because of negligence from the owner or operator of trampoline parks you may want to consider a trampoline lawsuit. There are many different kinds of injuries that you can file with this type of claim. For instance, you can file a claim for broken bones, slips and falls, whiplash, head injuries and even medical bills. However, your chances of winning these claims are slim to none, because in many cases it is ruled out that the owner or operator was not negligent. If you can prove though that another person was negligent and caused you permanent or temporary disability or pain or suffering this may be grounds for a trampoline lawsuit.
