A: Yes, you should consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer about this case. I have an ongoing lawsuit against a trampoline park. Just because you signed a waiver does not mean they get to operate the facility in a negligent manner. You need to make sure to act within the statute of limitations. He should also get the medical treatment he needs.

A: The prior response is accurate, but I would like to add a few pointers. Any photos or video of the defecting condition of the safety equipment will be very important to bring to your injury attorney. In addition, getting statements from witnesses as close to the incident date will also help. Even if your son was partially at fault, Georgia law will permit recovery so long as the injured person was more at fault than the premises owner or trampoline operator.
