Truly a tragic and heart breaking event. The family may be able to recover some of the medical expenses from the at fault driver’s insurance.

Take Another Look at Your Injury Case
Sometimes it helps to take a different view of things to understand what is really happening.
For instance, in your injury or disability case imagine what the Judge is reviewing in making her decision.
Pretend that you are the Judge and you have just heard the injured person testify that they have pain most of the day and it makes it hard to concentrate and perform daily activities.
Now imagine that you are the Judge and you are reviewing the injured person’s medical records.
The medical records report the patient is feeling fine. The records do not show any xrays or MRI’s. The records show appointments every 6 months.
You would expect the Judge to be somewhat confused with the difference between the testimony and the records.
What if the records showed doctor visits every 2 months, with an xray of the knee showing arthritis, and an emergency room visit for extreme pain thrown in, and doctor’s notes describing ongoing pain with activity.
The Judge would be able to find the injured person’s testimony more believable based on these set of records.
The point is that you want to tell your doctor everything that is happening, and you want to seek the treatment that is necessary to diagnose your condition and address the pain.
It is very unlikely to win a case based on testimony alone.
You will need to have supporting medical records explaining your pain and the extent of the pain.

Terrible tragedy. The issue in these type of cases is whether there is some type of design flaw or failure in repairs or upkeep of the slide and the rafts. Engineers would have to examine and test the ride to determine what caused the boy’s death and whether it was somehow linked to the mistakes.
