Jet Ski AccidentsJet Ski Accidents result in thousands of injuries every year. Jet Skis, also called personal watercrafts (PWCs), are governed by the same laws as other power boats, though many states have additional regulations governing personal water craft usage. Jet Skiing is a popular, exciting water sport, however, when Jet Ski operators are negligent, inexperienced, or intoxicated, devastating Jet Ski Accidents can occur. Because personal watercrafts, such as Jet Skis, can’t be steered when the throttle is released, inexperienced drivers often have collisions when confronted with an emergency, resulting in Personal Watercraft Accidents. Defective equipment and/or improper Jet Ski maintenance can also contribute to PWC Accidents. The injuries sustained by victims of Jet Ski Accidents can include drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, burns, amputations, hypothermia, head injuries, disfigurement, soft tissue injuries, and fractures. Depending on the body of water where the Jet Ski Accident took place, it may be pursued as a state negligence claim or under federal admiralty maritime laws.
