My daughter had to get stitches in her face as a result of getting hurt at an amusement park. Can I sue?

Cases against amusement parks and water parks can be tough. Best to get an consultation with a personal injury attorney. Most personal injury attorney's do not charge for the initial consultation.

You may not need to sue, it may be possible to negotiate a settlement with the amusement park's insurer without having to file a lawsuit. A case like this should not be a DIY project; arrange a free consultation with a reputable, experienced personal injury attorney in Amarillo and have him/her review the case.

Sorry about your daughter's injuries. Yes, you can sue. The question is whether you can recover. And the answer to that question is it depends. Generally I represent personal injury plaintiffs but I have successfully defended a number of amusement park cases. They are difficult for plaintiffs. But the facts matter. If the park failed to remedy or warn of a dangerous condition on the premises she might have a viable claim. Your post does not say how she got hurt (nor does it need to in this online forum). You should consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer about the specific facts of her injury. The consultation should be free and the representation, if accepted, will be on a contingent -- no recovery, no fee -- basis.

You may or may not need an attorney for this and if you do you will want to get one where the amusement park was located. You may want to take photos of the stitches now and after they are removed. Keep all medical bills and records. Good luck and I am sorry your daughter got hurt- nothing is worse than the helpless feeling when you child is injured.

You can always sue but if your chances of success depend on if the injury occurred because of some negligence on the part of the amusement park.

Scars on a young girl's face can be worth a small fortune, so best to retain a local personal injury lawyer to obtain maximum money damages.

I agree with the answers above. I'll add that there are a number of defenses the amusement park could assert (particularly if your ticket contained a waiver), and the claim must be properly "pled" (or, presented) to the Court. So, it's in your best interest to hire an experienced personal injury attorney to represent you (and, through you, your daughter). While these defenses may be rebutted (especially for a minor), you're going to need someone experienced to do it for you.

You should seek the advice of a Texas attornet who is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Choosing an attorney to fight for the compensation you deserve who does not specialize in personal injury law could mean ending up with no compensation at all. Hire an attorney that has been certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization as an attorney that has substantial, relevant experience in the area of Personal Injury law as well as demonstrated, and tested, special competence in that area of law.
