Philadelphia Jet Ski Accident Lawyers
Jet Ski Accidents
Every year in America thousands of people sustain catastrophic injuries or death while operating jet skis. It is quite shocking that a person can go to a rental facility and take out a jet ski with a young child on board with the apparent misconception that they are safe and easy to drive. Ask yourself, how many individuals will go out and rent a motorcycle and put their child on the back without learning how to operate it or with minimal instruction?
Not All Fun And Games: Dangers of Jet Skis
Most jet ski accidents are caused by collisions with other jet skis or other objects. Many times over summer weekends there is a good chance that jet ski operators have had one too many alcoholic beverages to drink while operating these complex pieces of equipment.
Rider error and over-confidence is a leading cause of jet ski injury and death, and unfortunately, most of the catastrophic jet ski and water craft accidents involve younger drivers. Some of the most common injuries caused by jet ski accidents include loss of limb, bone fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, if the maximum speed of a vessel is less than 25 mph, the operator is not required to successfully complete a Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission boating course.
Our experienced Pennsylvania maritime accident lawyers have found that many businesses in Pennsylvania rent jet skis, seadoos, wave runners, Tiger Sharks, and other personal water craft to individuals who do not possess boating safety educational certificates, and frankly are not aware of any of the safety regulations with the potential for any danger and harm concerning the operation of personal water craft and/or jet skis. Simply stated, there are many accidents waiting to happen at high speeds and these often preventable accidents many times result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful deaths.
