Universal Studios Hollywood Studio Tour Tram Accident Attorneys

The trams at Universal Studios Hollywood are constantly moving. The four-car trams can hold over 100 people at a time. The studio tour is anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour long. Just as quickly as the tram drops off passengers, new passengers are getting back on. Seatbelts are not provided.

Some possible causes of tram accidents include the following:

• Brake issues (faulty brakes, worn out brakes, etc.)
• Human error (speeding, taking turns to fast, ignoring traffic signs, etc.)
• Electrical issues
• Mechanical issues
• Road hazards
• Poorly light roadways

Although the incident above remains under investigation, it appears that the crash on 04/20/24 happened due to brake issues.

Some of the injuries that tram passengers could have suffered include the following:

• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Hip injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Knee injuries
• Fractures
• Burn injuries
• Crushing injuries
• Nerve injuries
• Lacerations
• Scrapes and bruises

If you suffered any of these injuries in a tram accident at Universal Studios, contact us today. You could have the right to sue and receive compensation.

The theme park is owned by NBCUniversal. Under the concept of premise liability, property owners have a duty to ensure that their premises remain free of any hazards or dangerous conditions that could ultimately lead to incidents and harm. All of the rides and attractions should also be safe and not pose a threat to guests. The studio tour is an attraction. Guests get on a tram and are driven around the backlot for up to an hour. NBCUniversal has a duty to ensure that their trams are all in a safe condition, all their drivers have the appropriate training and supervision, and that all backlot roads are free of hazards. When there is an incident on the tram – or on any other attraction – NBCUniversal can be liable, especially if the hazard or dangerous condition could have been identified and address before the incident occurred.

In summary, if you were injured at Universal Studios Hollywood, you could have the right to file an injury claim against NBC Universal. For more information about the legal options available to you, contact the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible.

In California, personal injury accident claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims, although some exceptions could apply. If you fail to file your claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, you could lose your right to sue entirely. Do not risk losing your right to pursue a claim to fight for justice.
