Orlando, FL SeaWorld Injury Lawyers

Dedicated Attorneys for Guests Injured at Orlando's SeaWorld Theme Park

SeaWorld Orlando is a popular attraction offering marine life exhibits, roller coasters, water rides, and interactive experiences for guests of all ages. While visitors expect to have a safe day at the park, accidents and injuries can happen when SeaWorld or its employees fail to maintain a safe environment. Theme park operators have a legal duty to protect guests from harm, and when they breach that duty, they may be held liable for injuries that may occur.

At The Doan Law Firm, we provide representation for people who have been injured while visiting SeaWorld in Orlando. Our legal team helps victims of amusement park accidents, working to hold park operators accountable for their negligence. We fight to ensure that our clients will receive compensation that will address their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to their injuries.

Causes of Accidents and Injuries at SeaWorld Orlando

Accidents at SeaWorld can occur in a variety of settings, from high-speed roller coasters to animal interaction areas. Some situations that may lead to serious injuries include:

Ride Malfunctions

Roller coasters or other rides may experience unexpected stops or breakdowns, or restraint systems may not function correctly. Malfunctions could lead to strong jolts or collisions, or people may even be ejected from rides. Guests may also suffer injuries due to operator error or the failure of park employees to follow the correct safety procedures.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet walkways near aquatic exhibits and water rides may lead to an increased risk of slipping and falling. Pathways that are uneven or poorly maintained, railings that are broken or missing, or inadequate warning signs may also lead to fall injuries.

Falling Objects

A ride malfunction may lead to equipment falling from overhead, or parts may be dislodged by maintenance. People may also be struck by falling or flying objects during shows at the park. These accidents can cause serious injuries, especially if a person is hit in the head by an object.

Animal-Related Injuries

Bites, scratches, or unexpected movements during animal encounters may lead to serious injuries for guests. These incidents may occur due to inadequate staff supervision or a lack of protective barriers around live animal environments.

Dangerous Infections and Illnesses

Guests may be exposed to bacteria or contaminants in water attractions, and these infections can lead to serious health issues. Poor sanitation of equipment or restrooms, illnesses caused by improperly maintained marine life habitats, or contaminated foods may also lead to serious illnesses for guests.

Proving Negligence in a SeaWorld Injury Case

To hold SeaWorld or its staff legally responsible for injuries that occurred at the park, a victim must be able to demonstrate that an injury was caused by negligence. This typically involves showing:

  1. Duty of Care: SeaWorld owes a duty to its guests to maintain reasonably safe premises and attractions.
  2. Breach of Duty: The park or its employees failed to take reasonable precautions, such as repairing a hazard, following ride protocols, or posting adequate warnings.
  3. Injury: A guest suffered a physical injury or illness while visiting the park.
  4. Causation: The unsafe condition or negligent act was directly responsible for the guest's injury and the subsequent damages.

Negligence may be shown through maintenance records, witness statements, incident reports, photos of unsafe conditions, security camera footage, and expert testimony. The Doan Law Firm works diligently to collect and preserve this evidence on behalf of our clients.

Legal Help for SeaWorld Injury Victims

Claims related to amusement park injuries can be complicated, and large corporations like SeaWorld will usually try to deny liability as they attempt to protect their reputations. Insurance company representatives may contact an injury victim and ask them to make statements, or they may offer settlements that will not fully cover the damages a person has suffered. At The Doan Law Firm, we have the experience, resources, and determination needed to take on large amusement park operators and fight for our clients' rights.

In these situations, we will assist clients by:

  • Conducting a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident, collecting evidence that demonstrates the causes of a person's injuries
  • Identifying the negligent parties who were responsible for an injury, which may include SeaWorld itself, employees, or third-party contractors
  • Calculating all damages, including medical bills, future care needs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering
  • Negotiating with insurance companies to make sure settlement offers will fully address a victim's financial losses and other damages
  • Taking legal action in court when necessary to secure appropriate compensation

Whether you are a Florida resident who was injured at SeaWorld or a tourist who was visiting from out of state, our team can help you navigate the legal process and recover the compensation you deserve.
