Can Trampoline Parks be Held Liable for Injuries?

Oct 24,2017

Trampoline parks have grown in popularity in recent years, as fun places for kids to hang out or to host a birthday party. However, these attractions can be dangerous if they are not properly designed, supervised and maintained. Children and adults alike have suffered serious injuries at trampoline parks due to negligence.

What if I Signed a Waiver?

Unfortunately, some people believe that the waiver they signed upon entering the trampoline park bars them from taking legal action against the establishment. Customers should note, however, that signing a waiver does not prevent you from filing a personal injury claim. While you do assume risk by signing the waiver, the business still has the responsibility to do its best to prevent injury and can be held liable if it is found negligent.

Negligent actions on the part of trampoline parks that could result in injury include:

Failure to create or enforce reasonable safety rules
Failure to stop reckless and dangerous behavior
Lack of protection against foreseeable dangers
Allowing for overcrowding of the facility
Defective equipment
Inadequate instructions or warnings
Improperly trained employees

These problems can cause serious injuries that are no fault of the participant. Customers can suffer sprains, dislocations, broken legs, head injuries, broken ankles, and severe back and neck injuries.

If you have suffered an injury due to negligence at a trampoline park, do not be intimidated by the facility’s waiver. Having customers sign a waiver does not release a business from liability when they have allowed for unsafe conditions.

“There is no excuse for failing to maintain safe conditions at a trampoline park. Customers who are injured because of such negligence are entitled to a personal injury claim,” said Attorney Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group.
