Two women have filed lawsuits against Hog Waller, claiming negligence at the park caused them grave injuries, First Coast News reported May 1.

One filed by a woman named Angela Williams says she was permanently injured in an accident at Hog Waller on March 3. 

The lawsuit claims that negligence by Hog Waller caused the accident, causing Williams "loss of capacity of for the enjoyment of life," hospital expenses and "pain and suffering of both a physical and mental nature." 

Another lawsuit, filed on behalf of a woman named Maya Pisula, states the plaintiff was struck at a high speed on New Years' Eve 2022 by someone who was driving an ATV under the influence. 

The suit says Hog Waller was negligent for failing to warn customers about the risks associated with people under the influence driving on the property. It also says paths, trails and mud bogs within the recreational area are unreasonably dangerous and cause collisions.
