When we go to the fairground we go for the fun, the excitement and the opportunity to spend time with friends and family. We do not expect to suffer personal injury in a fairground accident, but, sadly, such accidents are surprisingly common.
In fact, according to the most recent available statistics (2007/08) fairground ride accidents were up (27 reported incidents) on the previous year's levels (2005/06).
This does not mean that fatal accidents on fairgrounds are frequent; over an eight-year period between 2001 and 2009 two people died in such accidents in the UK: the first in 2001, when a 20-year-old university student suffered fatal injuries in a rollercoaster collision, the second in 2009 when a two-year-old boy was crushed by a roller-coaster after managing to crawl onto the tracks.
Additionally, in 1999 an Australian tourist suffered a fatal holiday accident when he fell from a rollercoaster at Shepherds Bush, London.
Of course, incidents involving non-fatal injury are more typical. Every year, many people suffer minor injuries such as cuts and bruises after being involved in slip and trip accidents at fairgrounds; the majority of these injuries are minor and require no litigation to take place.
However, it is those injuries which are serious that may require the making of a no win, no fee claim and the representation of a personal injury solicitor.
For example, in the case of a slip or trip that results in a broken bone, in the case of a rollercoaster accident head injury or where a fairground accident results in a whiplash injury (a not uncommon fairground injury).
A spokesperson from 100 percent compensation specialist YouClaim comments, "There are stringent health and safety regulations set out to ensure that visitors to fairgrounds are protected from suffering injury.
"In the case that there has been a breach of health and safety law such as failures of maintenance or an inadequate risk assessment, anyone affected may be entitled to claim compensation for their losses."
