Disneyland Injuries: Next Steps & How We Can Help

Getting injured at Disneyland can be disheartening, especially when it disrupts the magic of your visit. From slip and falls to ride malfunctions, accidents can happen, and knowing the next steps is crucial. Fielding Law is here to guide you through this challenging time and help you navigate the legal process with care and expertise.

Common Injuries at Disneyland

Injuries at Disneyland can vary widely due to the diverse attractions and activities offered at the theme park. Here are some common types of injuries that can occur:

Slip and Fall Injuries: Uneven walkways, wet surfaces, or debris can cause visitors to slip and fall, leading to injuries such as sprains, fractures, or head trauma.

Trip and Fall Injuries: Obstacles like cords, merchandise displays, or poorly maintained pathways can cause visitors to trip and fall, resulting in injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to more severe fractures or spinal injuries.

Attraction-related Injuries: The fast-paced rides and attractions at Disneyland can sometimes lead to injuries such as whiplash, strains, or impact injuries due to sudden movements or jolts during rides.

Food-related Illnesses: Foodborne illnesses or allergic reactions can occur if food safety protocols are not followed properly, leading to gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, or other health complications.

Crowd-related Injuries: Large crowds and busy areas can increase the risk of accidents such as being bumped or knocked over by other visitors, leading to injuries like bruises, cuts, or strains.

Trip-and-fall accidents from tram boarding: Getting on and off trams can pose hazards, especially during busy times, resulting in trip-and-fall injuries on platforms or in tram cars.

Next Steps After an Injury at Disneyland

After experiencing an injury at Disneyland, it is crucial to take the right steps to protect your well-being and legal rights. Here is a detailed guide on what to do next:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health should be the top priority. Seek medical help for your injuries, even if they seem minor initially. Prompt medical attention not only ensures proper treatment but also creates a documented record of your injuries.
2. Report the Incident to Disneyland: Inform Disneyland staff about the accident and file an incident report. This step is essential for documenting the details of the incident and creating an official record.
3. Gather Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene, including any hazards or conditions that contributed to your injury. Capture images of your injuries as well. Collect contact information from any witnesses who saw the accident happen.
