BOAT/WATERCRAFT ACCIDENTS

 Boating, jet skiing, water skiing and other water sports are popular activities in Florida. These activities, while entertaining and exciting, pose unique dangers of personal injury and wrongful death and complex legal and safety issues could be involved.

Collisions with other boats, or other type of water craft, is the most common cause of injury or death in boating accidents. Other causes of injury are slip and falls, reckless driving, drunk driving, boat malfunctions and inexperienced water craft operators. It is a general rule of law that the owner and operator of a boat have a duty to exercise the highest degree of care in order to prevent injuries and death to others.

Any injury that occurs on or with a boat, ship, ferry or personal water craft (jet ski) is considered a boating accident. Legal claims involving water accidents can involve complex legal and technical issues.
