Amusement park, water park and traveling carnival injuries

In the state of Georgia, permanent amusement parks (such as Wild Adventures and Six Flags), water parks and traveling carnivals are regulated by the Georgia Department of Labor under the authority of Chapter 12 of Title 34 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.  The Georgia Department of Labor has specific regulations it has promulgated pursuant to Georgia’s statutory scheme applicable to amusement rides and their operators.

While amusement parks, water parks and carnivals can be the source of fun, if their roller-coasters and other attractions are not properly certified into use and maintained thereafter, a good time can quickly become a dangerous and potentially fatal situation.

Having successfully handled a number of such claims, The Dow Firm, P.C. is equipped to represent the interests of park/carnival patrons who have been injured or killed.
