Never say 'never' is a good rule...
In my opinion, the proper course of action when involved in a mishap is to first file a claim with the operator (park, carnival, management company, whatever...). A lawsuit is warranted not as a first remedy, but as a means of seeking relief when other means of settlement fail.
Pity that most people don't seem to understand that.
