The date for the annual California State Fair in our home of Sacramento is rapidly approaching. August 17th the gates will open and remain a place filled with rides, games, and treats until September 3rd. My family and I have always loved going to the fair. You can’t help but feel like a kid again, running around from ride to ride and smelling all the delicious goodies. But along with the fun, amusement parks can at times be dangerous.

My family and I have always loved going to the fair. You can’t help but feel like a kid again, running around from ride to ride and smelling all the delicious goodies. But along with the fun, amusement parks can at times be dangerous. I just saw a recent article on roller coasters and injuries, in particular, brain injuries. At our Personal Injury Law Firm, we know how costly (emotionally, physically, monetarily) a brain injury can be, not only for a person but also for his or her family.
The article states that a head or brain injury can occur from the jerking motions of a roller coaster ride. It states that people can be particularly susceptible to this when riding in the dark (for example a tunnel) or when turning their heads while on the ride (for example to see the view, or a parent checking on their child).
Reading other articles, such as one from the Brain Injury Association, roller coasters do not seem to be one of our biggest threats in causing brain and head injury, but nevertheless, we should be aware of the possibilities that exist in a given situation.
If you or someone you love have ever been injured and suffered from a head or brain injury, you should get legal help. Please call the Law Offices of Moseley Collins for advice and assistance.
Have fun and be safe…
