Had a Fairground Accident?
- Report the incident to staff at the funfair so they can make an official record of it in their accident book. Check the accident book and how the accident is recorded before you sign a copy.
- Obtain details of any members of staff to who you reported the accident/incident.
- Take photos of what has happened, the scene, and any faulty equipment
- Get the details of any witnesses to the accident.
- Evidence of a loss of earnings if your injury has resulted in you needing time off work. Documents related to other financial expenditures connected to your injuries may be required. This could include travel receipts to and from medical appointments.
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible/first aid.
Accident at Work-Fairground
If you work at a fairground, your employer is legally obligated to provide you with appropriate health and safety training. They must also carry out risk assessments related to procedures and equipment. In addition, if required, they should provide you with personal protective clothing and equipment. If your employer has failed to perform any of these duties, they could be in breach of health and safety law. What’s more, they could be found responsible for your accident. In this case, you would have a valid accident at work claim and could be entitled to compensation.
Types of Injuries
Common kinds of injury which can arise following include:
- Cuts, bruises, lacerations and even broken bones can also result if you have fallen off a ride or tripped on an object on the ground.

- Food poisoning claims can arise following a trip to a funfair if the food you have consumed has been contaminated in some way.
- Burn injury claims can also be triggered if there has been a fire or through food or drink that is too hot.
What will my claim include?
You could be able to claim a loss of earnings. This may also include any future earnings you are likely to suffer because of your injury. If you have had to pay for any expenses in relation to your injury, you could also claim this money back too such as medical expenses and travel costs
