Injured at a Wakeboard Cable Park? Your Path to Justice and Compensation Starts Here

Having fun out in the water is a great day to spend a weekend during summer, or if you’re in the southern states, pretty much every summer. In particular, wakeboard cable parks allow one to indulge in the speed and thrill of watersports without a board, thanks to the presence of an electric cable system that tows riders over a lake that is man-made. These premises feature complex engineering systems as evidenced by the carriers and cables, and it is for this reason that there needs to be adequate supervision in order to manage a sport that is high-impact.

When you access one of these parks to enjoy their facilities, the first thing they will have you do even before any training or demonstration is sign a waiver form which technically absolves them of any liability should you get injured in an activity that is known to be inherently risky. There are many ways in which one can get injured at a wakeboard cable park, and some of these include collisions, being hit by a frayed cable which breaks due to wear and tear. In addition, one can be dragged underwater due to a malfunctioning carrier release mechanism. While releases are legally binding documents, the reality is that you can sue for watersports gone wrong even after having signed them due to the legal principle of gross negligence – read on to find out how we as a best wakeboard injuries attorneys can help you secure the justice and compensation you are duly owed.

Here are some of the common reasons for the injuries one may sustain at cable parks

  1. Cable and mechanical system failure where the high-tension cable and undergoes degradation without being replaced or inspected to ensure client safety.
  2. Poor design and layout of the cables where inadequate separation between the same leads to high speed collisions
  3. Supervision failure by the operator who negligently leaves patrons to their own devices, allows overcrowding and not stopping the cable in order to handle patron distress

Should you get injured at one of these venues, you can hold a number of entities responsible for your injuries such as the cable system manufacturer, the cable park operating company, the park, designer or builder, to name a few. It is important to note that these entities may seem loosely related, the chain of duty of care being breached by one or more of these is the exact reason why you have a case in the first place.

The damages associated with high-impact water trauma include

  1. The cost of present and future medical to address the surgeries, rehabilitation and home modifications and so on you will have to go through
  2. Loss of future earning capacity due to the destruction of any future earning potential
  3. A life care plan which may include 24/7 attendant care, the cost of medical supplies over one’s lifetimes, and so much more.
