Personal Injuries at Anaheim Attractions

Anaheim is the second largest city in Orange County. With attractions like Disneyland and Angel's Baseball team at Edison Field, this city attracts thousands of visitors every year. However, these seemingly happy places can put people at risk of personal injury.

One of the main problems faced by the city of Anaheim is the drunken behavior that often occurs in the areas around Angel's stadium during and after a game. Fans watching the game may go in for a drink or two in order to get into the spirit of the game. The result is that many people end up in an inebriated state and get involved in fights and DUI accidents.

In early 2009, the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim lost their valuable pitcher Nick Adenhart. The death was a result of a hit and run accident where the driver was under the influence of alcohol. Fights among drunken fans within the stadium are also a commonplace occurrence. In 2009, one man was found unconscious in the stadium after apparently getting involved in a brawl. The man ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

Some security measures have been put in place to reduce such events. There are almost 50 security officers and police men present during the games to prevent fights between intoxicated spectators. People with irresponsible behavior and those who are seen loitering about and making trouble are taken to task. Motorists who are not participating in the games are advised to avoid driving through the stadium area.

Another problem at the Angel's stadium is the recent spate of vermin violations. There was a policy, which required the cleaning crew to clean up within 12 hours of a game but this policy was often violated. In an attempt to make the environment at the stadium clean and safe, a new policy has been put in place which requires that a cleaning crew should be ready within 3 hours of the start of a game.

Disneyland is known to be a safe and fun place for families, but there have been some accidents here too. Most of these accidents originated as a result of the crew not following standard operational procedures. In September 2003, there was an accident on one ride which killed one and left 9 others injured. In 2004, there was a malfunction on a ride which resulted in a family of four being injured. After these incidents the Anaheim amusement park injury lawyers and wrongful death attorneys recommend that visitors to the park should exercise caution while enjoying the rides.
