Common Causes of Boating and Jet Ski Accidents

Recreational boating accidents are often caused by:

• Operator inexperience or inattention

• Excessive speed or reckless driving

• Boating under the influence (BUI)

• Lack of proper lookout

• Equipment failure or lack of maintenance

• Overcrowded vessels

• Collisions with other boats, docks, or fixed objects

• Wake damage or capsizing

• Defective personal watercraft (PWC) design or manufacturing defects

• Jet ski accidents due to improper rental company training

Florida leads the nation in boating accidents. If your injury was caused by the negligence of another boater, a rental company, or a vessel operator, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.
