Utah Boat and Jet Ski Injury Attorneys
Watercraft accidents occur in a variety of settings including:
- Two-boat collisions
- Collisions between boats and personal watercrafts (PWC)
- Injuries from being thrown off a PWC
- Injuries from striking fixed objects, such as docks or piers
- Swimmers struck by a boat or Jet Ski
We have represented operators, passengers and bystanders that have been injured as the result of a watercraft accident. Many of the worst injuries involve a combination of powerboats, speed, alcohol and/or operating at night. Other cases have hinged on driving too close to other watercrafts, failing to see swimmers or other crafts or negligent entrustment of a Jet Ski or boat to an underage operator.
Our team is skilled at reconstructing accidents if liability is disputed and maximizing compensation for lasting or catastrophic injury, such as head trauma, brain injury, amputation and/or spinal cord injury.
We are also adept at determining whether insurance coverage exists for your claim from various sources including boat insurance, auto liability insurance, homeowner insurance and uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist provisions. This can be especially important for major losses that exceed policy limits or accidents in which a family member was at fault.
If you or your loved one has been involved in a boating accident, contact our Salt Lake City firm as soon as possible so that we can preserve evidence and talk to witnesses. There are no attorney fees unless we secure compensation for you.
