Jet Ski Accident Causes |
Serving Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven and Surrounding Areas
Although jet skis can provide hours of fun, they can be extremely dangerous in the hands of a negligent, inexperienced, and/or intoxicated driver. At the law firm of Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC we have acquired many years of experience representing people who have suffered injuries in jet ski accidents.
Jet skiers are more likely to get hurt than other boat operators because they are more exposed. Accordingly, injuries sustained in a jet ski accident can be extraordinarily severe.
Common injuries include:
- Head trauma
- Hypothermia
- Disfigurement
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue injury
- Burns
- Drowning
Common causes of jet ski accidents
- Unsafe operation
- Speeding
- Boating under the influence
- Collisions
It is a general rule of law that the owner and operator of a jet ski has a duty to exercise the highest degree of care to prevent injury and death to others. Common safety precautions include wearing protective clothing (like a life jacket), keeping distance from other watercraft, paying attention to “no wake” signs and boat traffic, and operating a jet ski defensively.
