Raleigh Trampoline Park Injury Lawyer

Hurt at a Raleigh Trampoline Park? Here’s Where You Stand

You keep thinking back to the liability waiver you signed at the front counter or online before you entered the trampoline park. Did you sign away your rights? Does this mean the park owes your family nothing? Are the bills piling up for your child’s cast, their physical therapy, and the days you missed from work all yours to carry alone?

That signature may not mean what the park’s insurance company wants you to believe.

Our Raleigh trampoline park injury lawyer team represents North Carolina families in this situation. Unlike the zip lines and amusement rides nearby, trampoline parks are not required to carry liability insurance or pass a single state safety inspection. That gap changes how we build your case.

Tell us what happened at the park, and we will tell you plainly where you stand.

Raleigh Trampoline Jump Park Injuries

Raleigh families spend a lot of weekends at places like Sky Zone, Urban Air, DEFY, and Galaxy Fun Park, and most trips end with tired kids and nothing worse. However, sometimes injuries happen and when they do they may include: 

• Broken bones and sprains from hard landings or collisions with another jumper
• Concussions and other head injuries from falls onto the frame, springs, or padding
• Neck and spinal injuries from flips and stunts on trampolines or foam pits
• Torn ligaments and knee injuries from “double bouncing” with another jumper
• Injuries on dodgeball courts, ninja-style obstacle courses, and other attractions inside the same facility

Whichever facility your child was jumping at, and whichever part of the park it happened in, we can look into what actually caused the injury.

What a Bad Landing Can Cost Your Family

A single trampoline park injury can mean an emergency room visit, an orthopedic surgeon, months of physical therapy, and a child who cannot go back to school or sports right away. Who is supposed to pay for all of that while you wait for the park’s insurance company to decide it was your child’s fault, not their equipment or their staffing?

The trampoline park’s insurance company is unlikely to offer you a fair first settlement. You may need legal counsel to investigate the equipment, staffing, and maintenance records and to review your child’s medical file to determine a fair amount of compensation.

Who’s Responsible, and Does That Waiver Stop You?

Several parties can share responsibility for a trampoline park injury, including: 

• The company that owns the park
• The manager who scheduled too few staff on the floor
• The manufacturer of the trampoline or padding itself

Most Raleigh trampoline parks have a parent sign a liability waiver before a child jumps. However, a waiver does not protect a business from its own gross negligence. That form may not be the end of the conversation, even when the park’s insurer tells you otherwise.

You also have time on your side, though less than you might think. Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52(5), most North Carolina personal injury claims must be filed within three years. For children, that clock generally does not start running until they turn eighteen. However, waiting does not help your child’s case. Maintenance logs and staff schedules get harder to obtain the longer you wait.

Trampoline Park Injury Questions Raleigh Parents Ask Us

What should I do right after my child gets hurt at a Raleigh trampoline park?

Get your child medical care first, then write down which park, which attraction, and which staff member was on duty while the details are still fresh in your mind. Ask the front desk for an incident report and take photos of the area if you can. Records the park keeps on staffing and maintenance can matter later, so the sooner someone starts looking into it, the better.

Does signing a liability waiver mean we can’t sue?

Not necessarily. A waiver is one document among many we look at, not the end of the discussion.

Is the trampoline park itself regulated by the state?

No. North Carolina requires zip lines and challenge courses to carry liability insurance, but trampoline parks are not covered by that law and are not subject to state safety inspections. That makes an independent look at the park’s own safety practices more important, not less.

What if my child was jumping in a way they weren’t supposed to?

North Carolina is strict about shared fault, and a jury’s view of your child’s actions that day can affect the case. That is exactly why a park’s staff supervision and safety briefings matter as much as anything your child did. It is worth discussing with someone who knows how these cases play out in Wake County courtrooms rather than guessing from a waiver form. Additionally, children under the age of seven are presumed to be incapable of contributory negligence in North Carolina. That means even if your young child contributed to the accident, they may still recover in many cases if someone else was negligent.

Where would a claim against a Raleigh trampoline park be filed?

Most injury claims like this are filed at the Wake County Courthouse, where cases seeking more than $25,000 go to Superior Court and smaller claims go to District Court. We handle both.

What does it cost to talk to a lawyer about this?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we recover money for your family, and a first conversation about what happened costs you nothing.

If you still have questions about what happened to your child, the fastest way to get real answers is to talk with us directly.
