To fully answer your question, I would need more facts about the incident, how your son was injured and the ride itself. Generally, the owner and or operator of the ride need to be acting in a negligent manner for them to assume liability for your son's injury. If the ride was malfunctioning or in disrepair, or the ride operator was acting in a negligent or unsafe manner, they could be resposible. I would suggest you contact an attorney in your area who specializes in personal injury and seek a consultation so you can provide them all of the facts of your son's injury and they have give you a more informed opinion as to your options.
