Amusement park accident claims

When you go to a water park or amusement park, you have the right to be safe. For this reason, the Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) regulates and inspects rides and water slides at fairs, amusement parks and water parks in Ontario.

The TSSA is a non-profit organization that provides public safety services. It is accountable to the government and residents of Ontario. Did you know that if a slide or ride is unsafe, the TSSA can order that it be removed and can recommend that the Ontario government lay charges against the water park or amusement park? The TSSA will not provide you with compensation for your injuries but you may have the right to sue the amusement park or recreation facility. You should discuss this with a personal injury lawyer.

Helen Schutt
My personal experience in dealing with Alison at the firm was outstanding. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had in dealing with the insurance company. Alison was always upfront and honest with me about the results we were able to obtain. She worked hard for me and was very aggressive and no nonsense during our mediation meeting. My Ltd carrier made an strong effort to minimize the benifits I was entitled to, but Alison was having none of that. She got the results we were hoping for. I can't thank Alison enough for the help, and respect she gave me throughout the whole process.
