Understanding Trampoline Injuries at Las Vegas Theme Parks
Trampoline parks offer exhilarating fun for people of all ages, but inherent risks lurk beneath the bouncing surfaces. Unfortunately, trampoline park accidents are surprisingly common, often leading to severe injuries and even deaths.
Although trampoline parks in Las Vegas owe a duty to ensure visitors are safe, they don’t always meet the safety standards set forth by the International Association of Trampoline Parks (IATP). Exposed springs and framework, lack of safety netting, overcrowded facilities, inadequate padding, defective materials, and insufficient supervision continue to cause preventable injuries.
How Common Are Trampoline Park Injuries?
More than 100,000 trampoline injuries occur in the United States each year. Approximately 90% of those injuries happen to children between the ages of 5 and 15. An average of two people per year die in trampoline accidents. The British Medical Journal reports that children are more than twice as likely to suffer musculoskeletal or orthopedic injuries in a trampoline park accident than when using a trampoline at home.
What Are the Most Common Types of Trampoline Injuries?
Trampoline park injuries range from minor to severe, and even deadly. The most common types of trampoline park injuries in Las Vegas include:
- Soft tissue injuries (51.9%)
- Bone fractures (34.6%)
- Lacerations (11.7%)
The most severe types of injuries caused by trampoline accidents are concussions and traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, and death.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Trampoline Park Injuries?
Most trampoline injuries are caused when proper safety rules are not enforced or equipment is not maintained. Contributing factors often include:
- Allowing too many jumpers on the trampoline
- Failing to inspect the trampoline for defects or damage
- Allowing roughhousing
Children and Trampoline Park Injuries in Las Vegas
The majority of trampoline park injury victims are children. Parents often bring kids to these facilities as a fun alternative to playgrounds, but many parents are unaware of the risks. In fact, studies show that children are more than twice as likely to suffer fractures, concussions, or spinal injuries at trampoline parks compared to trampolines at home.
When a child is injured, parents may face enormous medical bills, missed time at work, and long-term developmental challenges for their child.
Nevada law allows parents to file personal injury claims on behalf of their minor children. I can help your family pursue the financial recovery you need to provide ongoing care and protect your child’s future.
How to Sue a Trampoline Park in Las Vegas if You Signed a Liability Waiver
It is a common misconception that injured victims cannot sue a trampoline park if they signed a waiver of liability. While this may be true in some situations, a waiver does not release a trampoline park from liability if the park was negligent. You can still have a successful lawsuit against the trampoline park if the accident was caused by a failure to repair or maintain the equipment, allowing too many people on the trampoline, or otherwise failing to maintain a safe environment for users.
How to File a Premises Liability Claim Against a Trampoline Park
If your trampoline injuries were caused by unsafe conditions at the park, you may be able to recover compensation by filing a premises liability claim against the park and its insurance company. During your free case evaluation, we’ll talk about the cause of the accident and whether the park was negligent, to determine whether this is the type of injury claim you should file. If you decide to proceed with a premises liability claim, our law firm will file the claim on your behalf and negotiate with the park and their insurance company to help you recover maximum compensation. If negotiations are unsuccessful, we’ll move forward with a lawsuit, and I’ll fight for your rights in court.
How to Sue the Manufacturer for Trampoline Injuries
If our investigation of your accident reveals design defects or other manufacturer mistakes, we’ll document the evidence and help you file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the trampoline or other defective equipment. Our team will help you navigate the legal process, communicating with the manufacturer on your behalf and negotiating for a fair settlement, so you can focus on getting better. If the manufacturer fails to offer you fair compensation for your losses, I’ll fight for your rights in court.
Damages Available in a Trampoline Park Accident Case
When a trampoline park accident in Las Vegas leaves you or your child injured, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for a variety of damages. In addition to medical expenses and lost wages, successful claims may include:
- Future medical care – surgeries, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
- Loss of earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work in the same capacity
- Pain and suffering for the physical pain, mental anguish, and emotional trauma caused by the accident
- Loss of enjoyment of life if you are unable to participate in activities you once enjoyed
- Wrongful death damages if your loved one was killed in a trampoline park accident, including funeral costs and loss of companionship
By carefully documenting your medical records, lost income, and the impact on your daily life, I will build a strong case to maximize your recovery.
Why Hire Burk Injury Lawyers After a Trampoline Park Accident?
You have just one chance to recover compensation for your trampoline park injuries, so it’s important to hire the right lawyer for your case. With more than 20 years of experience fighting for the rights of the people of Las Vegas, I know what to expect from large companies and their insurers, and I know how to win your case. When you hire me to represent you, I’ll:
Establish Liability for Your Injuries
Proving liability for trampoline park injuries requires an in-depth investigation and consideration of all factors that may have contributed to your accident. Instead of relying on the trampoline park’s accident report, I’ll conduct my own investigation into the incident, and even consult with experts if necessary, to determine liability for your injuries.
Determine the Value of Your Accident Case
As your personal injury attorney, I am dedicated to ensuring that you recover maximum compensation for your injuries and losses. When evaluating the value of your case, I’ll consider your medical bills and the cost of any ongoing medical treatment, any income you’ve lost because of your injuries, and other ways in which the accident has impacted, or will continue to impact your life.
Negotiate with the Insurer and the Rideshare Company
When you retain me as your attorney, I’ll handle all negotiations with the liable party and their insurer on your behalf. While I can’t promise you how much you’ll recover if your injury case is successful, I can promise that I’ll work to make sure you receive a fair settlement for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Fight for Your Rights in Court
I am a true trial attorney, and I am not afraid to go up against large companies, their insurers, and their attorneys in court. If I’m unable to secure a fair settlement on your behalf, I’ll fight for your rights in the courtroom, and let the judge and the jury decide what’s fair.
Frequently Asked Questions About Trampoline Park Injuries
How long do I have to file a trampoline park injury lawsuit in Nevada?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada. If the claim involves a child, additional time may apply. An attorney can help you calculate the exact statute of limitations in your case.
Can I sue if another child injured mine at a trampoline park?
Yes. If park staff failed to properly supervise children or allowed unsafe overcrowding, the facility may still be liable for injuries caused by other guests.
Does signing a waiver mean I can’t recover compensation?
Not necessarily. Liability waivers do not protect trampoline parks from gross negligence, defective equipment, or violations of safety laws.
Get Legal Help with Your Trampoline Park Accident
If you or your loved one suffered injuries in a trampoline park accident, the last thing you need is to try to deal with the claims process on your own. Trampoline parks and their insurers employ teams of experienced negotiators and attorneys who will use whatever tactics they deem necessary to minimize or deny claims like yours. Without an attorney, your chances of recovering fair compensation are slim. In fact, it’s common for parks and their insurance companies to:
- Use liability waivers to defend claims
- Place blame on injured victims
- Minimize victims’ losses
- Try to coax victims into accepting low settlements
When you hire Burk Injury Lawyers to fight for your rights, we can help you recover up to 3 times more than you might if you handle your case on your own.
