No one expects to be injured while on vacation. You have chosen the Ft. Worth area, the top tourist destination in Texas, where 9.4 million people visit each year. The last thing you probably considered was the possibility of having an accident while in the area, but it happens. Here’s what you can do after an unexpected injury in Fort Worth.
Where Are Tourists Injured in Fort Worth?
While an accident can occur anywhere, some of the most popular tourist attractions in the area include Six Flags, the Ft. Worth Zoo, AT&T Stadium, the Fort Worth Stockyards, The Water Gardens, the Amon Carter Museum, the Botanical Garden, and Sundance Square.
Whether you are a football fan who takes the opportunity to see the Dallas Cowboys play, or are attending a concert, or visiting an amusement park or water park, a serious injury will leave you in a hospital in an unfamiliar city, unable to return home for work or school, needing immediate legal help to help you seek fair compensation.
Common Accidents in Fort Worth
The following accidents are the most common:
- Car accidents: You may be the driver, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or a motorcyclist. A lack of familiarity with the streets and highways makes driving more difficult for tourists, and you may be sharing the roadways with drivers who are impaired by drugs or alcohol, texting, speeding, or distractions, leading to a serious injury accident.
- Trip-and-fall accidents: Whether at a hotel, motel, resort, amusement park, sports or concert venue, on the sidewalk, or in a retail outlet, a fall can lead to serious, life-threatening injuries.
- Heatstroke: Fort Worth can be extremely hot during the summer months, and heatstroke is one of the most common reasons tourists end up in the emergency room.
- Sports injuries: Activities such as hiking, jet skiing, water skiing, boating, or swimming can leave you with injuries ranging from broken bones to drowning.
