Jet Ski Accident

A jet ski accident involves injuries or damages caused while operating or riding on a jet ski, also known as a personal watercraft (PWC). These accidents can occur due to collisions with other watercraft, obstacles, or even poor weather conditions, as well as operator errors such as reckless driving or not following safety regulations. Florida, with its large coastline and boating culture, experiences many jet ski accidents annually. Injuries can range from minor to severe, including head trauma, broken bones, spinal injuries, or drowning.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Individuals injured in jet ski accidents, including passengers, boaters, and passersby, may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, lost income, physical strain or emotional, and property damage. If another party’s negligence, such as reckless operation or poor maintenance, caused the accident, significant damages may be awarded.
• Consequences Without Representation: Proving liability in jet ski accidents can be challenging due to factors like operator error, mechanical failure, or environmental conditions. With Florida’s four-year statute of limitations, acting quickly is crucial. Without an attorney, you risk settling for less, as insurance companies may offer inadequate compensation.
