Recreation & Amusement Parks

Recreational and amusement park accidents can be some of the most devastating for clients because they occur at a time when they are least expected. The trial attorneys at Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow have established a history of large verdicts and settlements for terrible injuries, and as a result have made amusement rides safer for us all. Perhaps the best known Boston-area law firm for amusement park accidents, MBBB has earned the respect of the legal community for experience and diligence in investigating and litigating recreational accidents.

MBBB's lawyers have handled amusement park cases involving dark rides, fast-moving rides and water rides. Achieving results for injured people in what can be high-profile cases, Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow has accomplished a record of success. For example, when an amusement park broke its own rules about how many workers should operate a dark ride, a woman's foot was caught in the machinery, causing her leg to be badly broken. When a child was thrown from a fast-moving ride and was killed, the cause was found to be poor maintenance.

In addition to amusement park accidents, MBBB attorneys advocate for the victims of personal injuries in recreational accidents. These often involve defective products that were poorly made or negligently maintained. MBBB's product liability lawyers have handled cases that include:

• Personal watercraft (PWC) such as Jet Ski® and Sea-Doo®
• All-terrain vehicles (ATV)
• Snowmobiles
• Motorcycle, bicycle and ATV helmet failure
• Unsafe football, baseball and soccer equipment
• SCUBA equipment

In these cases and others, the attorneys at Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow obtained fair compensation for the injured victims or for the families of wrongful death victims. In addition to financial compensation, MBBB will often, at a client’s request, require the responsible parties to change policies and practices to prevent similar accidents in the future.
