Settlement Awarded in Roller Coaster Injury Case

Although the details of the settlement have been sealed, it is known that a famous amusement park has concluded its personal injury lawsuit regarding a 12-year-old boy.

According to reports, the young boy was seriously injured while riding a roller coaster operated by the company. He was with his father on the ride when a cable snapped, causing the coaster to fall. As a result, the cable went into and severely tore the young boy's legs. He has since undergone multiple surgeries and hours of physical therapy. While he can now walk again, his family has been billed for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical treatments.

Since a state investigation revealed that the company had been negligent in properly caring for the amusement ride, the family was able to reach a settlement. Since then, the park has ensured riders that a higher standard of safety has and will be met by it staff.
