3. a. As a precondition to bringing any suit in connection with an injury against an amusement park operator, a rider shall report in writing to the amusement park operator all the details of any accident within 90 days from the time of the incident giving rise to the suit.
b. In order to facilitate reporting of accidents or injuries, every amusement park operator shall designate an office or location as a site for reporting accidents and injuries. The designated office or site shall be open and staffed during regular business hours and shall be clearly designated in writing. The operator shall designate and identify more than one such office or location if necessary within the amusement park so that no area containing amusement park rides is further than reasonable walking distance from an office or location.
c. An accident report shall include at least the following: name and address of the accident victim, brief description of incident location, alleged cause of accident, name and address of the ride operator, others involved and witnesses, if any. The precondition in subsection a. of this section is not applicable unless the operator conspicuously posts notice of the reporting requirement in English and one other language deemed appropriate by the amusement park operator and in at least five different locations on the premises, including each entrance and exit, each place designated for receiving reports of accidents and injuries during business hours and each place designated as a first aid station. The Department of Labor shall provide the rider or his representative with a copy of the accident report as required by section 17 of P.L.1975, c.105 (C.5:3-47) upon request.
