Oakland Amusement Park Accident Attorney
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the number of emergency room visits from amusement park accidents has increased almost 87 percent in the last five years. In 2000, the CPSC (who has jurisdiction over fixed-site rides) reported an estimated 10,580 emergency room visits for injuries related to both fixed-site and mobile theme park rides. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's statistics revealed that the majority of those treated for amusement park accident related injuries were children between the ages of 10-14 years old. Interestingly, females were almost two times more likely to be injured in an amusement park accident than males.
