Am I Eligible to Make a Parks and Theme Parks Claim?

You may be eligible for a parks and theme parks compensation claim if you’ve been injured, ill or harmed due to unsafe conditions. Operators of these spaces have a duty of care to visitors. If they breach this duty and you’re injured, you may have a case.

Your eligibility also depends on being able to prove:

  • The park owner, operator or local council were legally responsible for visitor safety.
  • They failed to take reasonable steps to prevent hazards, such as poor maintenance, no signage or inadequate safety measures.
  • Your injury was a direct result of their failure to provide a safe environment.

If this applies to you, you may have a public liability claim. At Wyatts, our public liability lawyers have helped many clients prove the park’s owner was negligent and caused their injuries. We pursue maximum compensation for their pain and suffering.
