We went to the Christmas Town in Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA last December. As we were crossing one of the bridges there, on our way to see the last show of the evening, my feet totally slipped out from under me. It was dark and the weather had become icy. The bridge had not been salted. I didn't even feel myself starting to slip, before I knew it, I was just flat on my back.
We went to Guest Services, who then sent us to the medical unit. They gave me some ice and an aspirin or something. The nurse called me the next day, pretty much just to be sure I hadn't gone to the hospital or anything. When I spoke to her I had fully expected that I'd recover and stop being sore, etc. in a week or so. I was wrong. Six months later, I still have severe pain in my lower back and upper thigh and am getting severe headaches very frequently.
I had received a short little letter from a VP there, basically just blowing the incident off. I tried to contact him again, but he won't speak to me. He did have an underling call me and tell that they don't help anyone that gets hurt there with medical bills or anythng. He tried to bribe me with some free one-day passes to the park. Even then, he wouldn't send enough for the family, and we never received what he did promise. I've had to spend $2, 000 on medical bills and they won't help us at all. Busch Gardens doesn't have insurance, really??They need to be shut down in that case.
