Personal watercrafts are a popular choice for water recreation, but they are deceptively dangerous, especially in the hands of inexperienced or intoxicated operators. PWCs have a significant accident rate, and often it is passengers or other people in the water who get hurt.
If you or your loved one suffered serious injury related to a Jet Ski-type craft, the Phillips & Pelly law firm can determine if you have a negligence lawsuit against the party who caused the accident. Contact us for a free consultation.
Jet Ski Accident Lawyers in San Diego
Our experienced San Diego jet ski accident attorneys will handle a number of personal watercraft (PWC) injury cases, in San Diego Harbor, Mission Bay and other oceanfront or inland waters of San Diego County. We can assess your potential lawsuit under various scenarios in which risky or reckless behavior led to injury:
- Collisions between two PWCs (Jet Ski, Wave Runner, Sea-Doo, etc.)
- Jet Ski collisions with boats
- Collisions with fixed objects
- Passengers thrown off the PWC or injured when it flipped over
- Riders or swimmers struck by a Jet Ski
Many Jet Ski accidents are alcohol-related. Others involve underage or inexperienced riders who were careless in the vicinity of others or unable to control the machine. Our lawyers are skilled at establishing liability from decades of experience in investigating all types of personal injury accidents. We are also familiar with the injuries in Jet Ski accidents, including permanent or catastrophic harm.
Passengers often have good grounds to sue because they are at the mercy of the operator. In any event, claims are typically brought against the homeowners policy of the operator or the victim.
