Six-Figure Justice After Leg Injury at Indoor Trampoline Park

In February 2023, our client took her daughter to a Trampoline Park in Davidson County, Tennessee, to celebrate a birthday party. What should have been a joyful afternoon turned into a traumatic incident. While playing with her daughter, our client jumped into a foam pit and unknowingly struck a trampoline mat hidden beneath and fractured her leg. Believe it or not, these cases are very hard to win compensation. In this case, we needed to prove a lack of maintenance and additional safety precautions caused her to suffer a leg fracture.

Painful Recovery and Family Impact

Our client was immobilized in the foam pit, and in excruciating pain, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Recovery not only involved surgery but also weeks of physical therapy and rehabilitation. Along with her physical state, she was also facing emotional suffering, treatment-related anxiety, and continued medical costs. She had to take a prolonged absence from work, and her husband had to cut back his own hours to care for her and their children. Together, these hardships created immense financial and emotional strain, disrupting every part of their family life.

Turning to Weir & Kestner Injury Lawyers

With this stressful situation on their hands, our client and her husband reached out to Weir & Kestner Injury Lawyers. We investigated the indoor trampoline park’s history and safety practices. We focused on building a winning lawsuit from the start.

Exposing Negligence and Unsafe Conditions

We filed suit in Davidson County Circuit Court and began the process of discovery. Through written discovery and depositions, we uncovered that not only was the foam pit poorly designed, but also poorly maintained. Even more concerning, on the date of the accident, there were no employees present in the area where the accident happened. This lack of supervision delayed her emergency care and violated the park’s duty to provide a safe environment for its patrons.

Trampoline Parks Are Regulated for Safety

In Tennessee, the Amusement Device Unit and/or the Elevator and Amusement Device Safety Board regulates amusement devices. You can check out our blog here on indoor trampoline park liability. The Board classifies trampoline parks as amusement devices, meaning they are regulated for safety and must have proper permits.

Achieving Justice for Our Client

We gathered key evidence showing that the trampoline park failed to meet basic safety standards and did not properly monitor its equipment and patrons. The park neglected to monitor its equipment and left patrons unsupervised in dangerous conditions. By proving their negligence in both maintenance and supervision, we built a strong claim that held the trampoline park accountable. The severity of our client’s injuries, combined with the park’s clear safety failures, ultimately led to a resolution that provided her family with justice and financial support.

Dedicated to Protecting Families and Victims of Negligence

At Weir and Kestner Injury Lawyers, we believe trampoline parks should never sacrifice safety for entertainment. When businesses fail in their duty of care, families suffer life-changing consequences.
