Jet Ski Accident Lawyer
In a split second, a boating accident can change your life. Bye, Goff & Rohde's jet ski accident lawyers can help when water recreation goes wrong.
In Wisconsin and Minnesota, heading to the lake and getting on the water is a way of life in the summer months. While most jet ski operators are responsible and careful, accidents caused by irresponsible or negligent operators account for thousands of boat and jet ski accidents each year. The result? Life-altering injuries for those involved. In the most tragic cases, lives are lost.
Causes of Watercraft Accidents
In 2015, the Coast Guard counted 4,158 boating accidents that involved 626 deaths and 2,613 injuries. Open motorboats, jet skis, and other personal watercraft account for the second most common type of boating accident. Recreational boating accidents can be more complex than motor vehicle accidents because physical evidence can sink, or the water can wash it away. Usually, there aren’t many unbiased witnesses.
Boating and jet ski accidents often occur due to:
- Reckless Driving
- Driver inattention
- Excessive speed
- Off-throttle steering
- Driver inexperience
- Internal Orifice Injuries
