Although trampolines are popular recreational devices used by many families, the risk of experiencing a trampoline accident is frighteningly high. The American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates that nearly 250,000 medically treated trampoline injuries occur every year in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of these accidents occur among children aged 14 or younger.
Even more staggering than the injury rate of trampoline accident injury is the likelihood of serious injury. Four percent of all trampoline injuries treated in the emergency room result in hospitalization.
Trampoline accidents can occur in a number of ways. Jumpers can collide with one another, fall on the trampoline springs or frame, fall or jump off the trampoline, or attempt acrobatic somersaults and land wrong. The most common body parts injured in trampoline accidents are the legs, feet, arms, hands, head, face, neck, shoulders, and trunk.
Although some of these injuries are caused by innocent trampoline accidents, many of these accidents may have been preventable. Trampolines should only be used under proper supervision and in safe areas. Additionally, trampolines require upkeep to ensure their safety and prevent the injury of jumpers.
If you or someone you care about has been harmed in a trampoline accident, you owe it to yourself to discuss your case with an attorney. An experienced and compassionate trampoline accident lawyer can investigate your injury and help you fight for compensation that can offset medical expenses.
