A ticket.
Not a waiver.
From Six Flags Great Adventure to the boardwalk rides of Wildwood and Seaside, New Jersey's amusement industry is regulated by the Department of Community Affairs — and required to meet detailed safety standards that we measure each defendant against.
DCA regulation
+ premises liability.
The NJ Carnival-Amusement Rides Act (N.J.S.A. 5:3-31) and DCA regulations (N.J.A.C. 5:14A) govern ride inspections, operator qualifications, and incident reporting. When inspections were missed, restraints failed, or operators were untrained, the case writes itself.

DCA records, ASTM standards, manufacturer files.
We pull DCA inspection records, ASTM F24 ride standards, and the ride manufacturer's maintenance bulletins. The combination usually identifies the lapse that caused the incident.
Park CGL, manufacturer, and operator policies.
Parks carry substantial CGL. Ride manufacturers carry product liability. Operator employees may have employer coverage. We tender all of them.
What clients ask first.
I signed the ticket-back waiver. Is my case dead?
Ticket waivers don't bar claims for negligence or gross negligence in NJ. They're a paper tiger in most ride-injury cases.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?
Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
A safe ride
is the bargain.
When the park broke that bargain, we hold them to it.
