San Antonio Trampoline Park Injury Lawyer
Trampoline Park Injuries in San Antonio
Trampoline centers can provide hours of fun and exercise for kids. Unfortunately, trampoline centers can also lead to serious injuries and more visits to emergency departments. Common injuries from trampoline accidents can include head injuries, spinal injuries, leg injuries, trunk injuries, and more. In severe cases, trampoline park injuries can result in permanent disability, wrongful death, and thousands of dollars in medical bills. The worst part is that trampoline centers recognize the potential for severe injury, so they require all visitors to sign lengthy waivers, often excusing them from full liability in the event of an accident. This doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue legal action at all; it just means that if you do decide to pursue legal action, you’ll need strong legal representation on your side.
Our San Antonio personal injury lawyer team believes that trampoline parks should be held responsible for the injuries that children sustain within their premises. Our San Antonio child injury lawyers can investigate the details of your child’s injury – as well as the details of the waiver you signed – and help you determine the best course of action.

What Are Trampoline Parks?
Trampoline parks are basically giant gymnasiums full of wall to wall trampolines. In the last 10 years, trampoline park franchises like Sky Zone, Altitude, Rockin’ Jump, Urban Air, Big Air, etc. have been popping up all over the country. These parks have become a popular destination for parents with high-energy kids.
How Often Do Trampoline Park Injuries Happen?
According to a report from the Mayo Clinic, more than 800,000 kids (under the age of 16) have suffered trampoline injuries between the years of 2009 and 2018. Most of the injuries occurred on home trampolines.
Additionally, the Mayo Clinic states that most injuries sustained – broken bones in the arms and legs – are non-life threatening. However, it’s very possible for children to suffer serious injuries during backyard trampoline accidents and trampoline park accidents.
Common Types of Trampoline Park Injuries
Common trampoline injuries include:
- Broken bones in the arms, legs, fingers, toes, and clavicles
- Traumatic brain injuries such as concussions, post concussion syndrome and subdural hematomas
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Partial or complete paralysis
- Neck injuries
- Dislocated joints in the arms and legs
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Bruising and lacerations
So, how do trampoline park injuries happen? As we all know, children are incredibly creative with finding ways to potentially hurt themselves. Kids can get injured even in the safest environments. Trampoline use naturally increases children’s clumsiness and creative abilities to get hurt.
Common causes of trampoline-related injuries can include flipping and landing wrong (on their head or neck, for example), jumping and colliding with another child, jumping and landing wrong on an outstretched arm, landing wrong after a double bounce, etc.
Which is More Dangerous: Backyard Trampolines or Trampoline Parks?
While children can easily suffer injuries on both types of trampolines, commercial trampoline centers definitely carry a higher risk of injury according to a recent study. In fact, this study found that a child’s risk of suffering an orthopedic or musculoskeletal injury is twice as high at a trampoline center. Additionally, the risk of child leg injuries is three times higher at trampoline parks compared to home trampolines.
Both home trampolines and trampoline parks have nearly the same risk of hospital admission. However, the injuries sustained at trampoline centers were generally more severe and were two times more likely to require surgical treatment according to the aforementioned study.
Experts believe that trampoline parks cause more catastrophic injuries compared to the average backyard trampoline because of structural differences. These wall to wall trampolines tend to have a higher tensile strength, which creates a harder bounce. This means that the bones, joints, and ligaments are under more stress while jumping.
This doesn’t mean that home trampolines don’t pose their own set of dangers. Both younger and older children are more likely to suffer arm injuries, concussions, and lacerations with home trampoline use. That’s because these trampolines have exposed structures – such as spring mechanisms – that aren’t covered by padding.
Do Trampoline Parks Have Safety Standards?
The answer to this question depends on the state and the trampoline park franchise. Some states have mandatory safety standards that all trampoline parks must follow. Texas is not one of these states, according to a 2022 Tyler Morning Telegraph article. But because trampoline park injuries increased over the last decade, more parents and politicians are pushing for mandatory safety guidelines in these parks.
Can You Sue a Trampoline Park for Injuries if You Signed a Liability Waiver in Texas?
Suing trampoline parks for injuries can be tricky mostly because most parks require parents to sign liability waivers. Many of these waivers attempt to excuse the park of all liability related to injuries. The lack of mandated safety standards in Texas makes this situation more complicated.
Still, this doesn’t mean you can’t sue trampoline park operators at all. It just means you will need really strong legal representation on your side if your child happens to suffer a trampoline injury. San Antonio personal injury lawyers at Janicek Law can carefully read through these waivers and find a loophole for you, so that you can recover financial compensation for your damages.
Compensation for Trampoline Park Injuries in Texas
San Antonio personal injury lawyers at Janicek Law can help you recover financial compensation for the following types of damages:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future rehabilitation bills
- Expenses for necessary medical equipment like wheelchairs, braces, etc.
- Lost wages (for the parents)
- Loss of earning capacity (for the child if they suffer a permanent disability that will prevent them from working in the future)
- Emotional distress
- Permanent scarring, disability, and/or disfigurement
- Funeral and burial expenses if the trampoline injury leads to wrongful death
How To Keep Your Kids Safe at Trampoline Parks
Although trampolines do carry the risk of injury, children can still enjoy them with proper parental supervision. Additionally, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that both parents and younger children keep the following safety tips in mind:
- Tell kids to avoid flips, somersaults, and falls on trampolines. These moves increase the risk of traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries.
- Make sure that backyard trampolines are set up correctly and safely so there’s no risk of it falling apart.
- Set up backyard trampolines are set up on soft, level ground. In other words, don’t set up a trampoline on concrete or on a hill.
- Make sure that kids are jumping with bare feet. Socks and shoes on a trampoline can increase the risk of injury.
- Make sure that kids don’t jump off the trampoline. Instead, they should walk off.
- Instruct kids to avoid double bouncing, which is when two people bounce next to each other and try to transfer the kinetic energy to the other bouncer. Double bouncing can make someone bounce higher than usual, but it also increases the level of force and stress on the body during the landing.
- Make sure that kids aren’t wrestling, running, or jumping on each other

We had an amazing experience with Janicek Law from beginning to end. Karen Rangel recommended us to Cassidy Muniz, and we are so thankful she did. Cassidy assisted myself, my husband, and our two daughters, and all four of us are extremely happy with the experience and outcome. Cassidy truly went above and beyond for our entire family. She was always responsive, patient, professional, and helpful, and she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly, we had no issues, and she made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier for us. The entire team at Janicek Law is amazing, and we felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful to Karen for recommending Cassidy and especially grateful to Cassidy for everything she did for our family. We would 100% recommend Cassidy and Janicek Law to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about their clients. Thank you all so much for everything! ❤️![]()

We were referred to Janicek Law firm from a lawyer in Brownsville, who pointed out that they are experts in the field of medical malpractice and I am so grateful. We worked with Andrew and Gaby and they were dedicated and worked hard to get us the best possible outcome. They kept us informed and updated through every step of the process, always with a friendly and very professional disposition. Despite language and distance challenges, they accommodated all of our needs, and I would highly recommend Janicek Law Firm. They made a bad situation better by listening to our concerns, helping us through a sorrowful time for my family, and advising on how to defeat our opponent. For any families that have a beloved and elderly relative who suffered in the hands of callous and neglectful medical institutions, Janicek Law Firm were amazing in advocating for our relative and making these corporate entities accountable. Thank you, Andrew and Gaby, we really appreciated your help!![]()

Mr Bernal and Karen were great. They always kept me up to date on all that was going on at all times. When it came down to mediation Mr Bernal knew exactly what to do and say to make things clear with the insurance company who wanted to take advantage of me. I highly recommend Mr Bernal if you ever are in an accident. He will definitely take care of you.![]()

I have started this review so many times, but every time I do, I realize there simply aren't enough words to thank the people at Janicek Law. Almost 3 years ago, my world ended. I lost my son, Zayden—the greatest love of my life. My other son, Zy, witnessed the unimaginable that day. He carries those memories with him every single day, and we are forever grateful that he is still here because we very easily could have lost him too. Our family didn't just experience a tragedy—we experienced trauma that changed us forever. When I first met the team at Janicek Law, I wasn't just grieving. I was broken. I was a mother trying to survive the unthinkable while helping my surviving son heal from something no child should ever witness. I didn't know if I had the strength to keep fighting. There were so many moments when I wanted to give up. Every deposition, every conversation, every piece of evidence forced me to relive the worst day of my life. I told them I couldn't do it anymore. But they never let me forget why we were fighting. They reminded me that Zayden deserved justice. They reminded me that Zy deserved justice. They believed in my family even when I couldn't believe in myself. What makes Janicek Law different is that this was never just a job to them. They never made me feel like another client or another case number. They knew my children by name. They celebrated Zayden's life. They cried with us, prayed with us, hugged us, encouraged us, and walked beside us through every heartbreaking step. They carried a piece of this burden with us, and I will never forget that. Even after the case was over, they didn't disappear. They still answer my calls. They still help me with paperwork. They still check on me. They still make me feel like my family matters. That's something you cannot fake. That's love. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing them as "my attorneys" and started seeing them as family. And I truly believe I have a family for life. No amount of money will ever bring my little boy back. I would trade every penny to hear his laugh one more time. But because of Janicek Law, I have peace knowing that his life mattered, his story was heard, and that they fought for my boys with everything they had. From the deepest part of a mother's heart... thank you. Thank you for loving my children. Thank you for never giving up on us when I wanted to give up myself. Thank you for standing beside us through the darkest chapter of our lives. You gave my family more than legal representation—you gave us hope, dignity, and people we will love for the rest of our lives. You helped a grieving mother find the strength to be the voice her son no longer had. In a world that can feel so unfair, you reminded me that there are still genuinely good people. We love each and every one of you, and we will never forget what you did for Zayden, for Zy, and for us.❤️![]()

Virginia-Ann Bernal8 July 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
After my accident, I felt overwhelmed and had no idea what to do next. Choosing Janicek Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, Philip Bernal, Cassidy Muniz, and Karen Rangel took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I always knew what to expect. Cassidy and Karen were absolutely incredible throughout my entire case. They coordinated my medical care, helped with scheduling appointments, communicated with my insurance, and was always available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. Their compassion and dedication truly made a difficult time so much easier. The entire team worked hard to build my case, keeping me informed every step of the way, and ultimately secured a settlement I was very happy with. More importantly, they gave me the peace of mind to focus on healing instead of worrying about the legal process. I can’t thank Philip, Cassidy, Karen and everyone at Janicek Law Firm enough for their professionalism, kindness, and commitment. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend them. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!![]()
