The Sunshine State is surrounded by water on three sides and features numerous bodies of water, including nearly 8,000 lakes and 60 rivers. This, coupled with an average of nearly 240 days of sun each year, makes Florida a wonderful place to be on the water when the weather is warm. Unfortunately, more boats on the water also mean a greater risk for boating accidents. In 2019, Florida led the nation in recreational boating accidents(opens in a new tab) with 679 reported, including 55 fatality accidents that resulted in a total of 62 deaths. If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a boating accident, a qualified boat accident attorney from The Ruth Law Team can help to ensure that medical and other expenses are covered.

The last thing you need when you’re recovering from injury or mourning the loss of a loved one is to get railroaded by insurance providers looking to delay or deny your claims until you simply give up in frustration.

As your expert boat accident laywers, The Ruth Law Team will guide you through the process of recovering maximum compensation.

Jet Ski Injuries and Accident Claims

Jet skis are often a fun and exciting activity that many people enjoy doing while out on the water. Unfortunately, sometimes the fun can lead to an accident and cause injuries. Many times, injuries sustained from jet ski activities can be even more severe than those caused from boating accidents because the rider is often fully exposed and vulnerable.

Many situations from jet ski accidents are contributed to rider negligence, but there are circumstances where faulty equipment, defective parts, or another vessel can cause damages and injuries. This could lead to a host of potential parties that can be held liable for damages including the manufacturer, jet ski rental company, or even the negligent operator. In any situation, seeking proper legal counsel is a good starting point which is one more reason why The Ruth Law Team is here to help you.
