Miami beaches are famous for their white sands, blue waters, and great rental market for personal watercrafts (PWC) like Jet Skis. Jet skis allow access to water recreation to a variety of people thanks to their versatile use that allows the user to be seated, standing, kneeling or even laying on it. While a jet ski and other motorized water toys can be a great deal of fun, the negligence of other operators or the rental company can result in costly injuries.
You are able to get damages related to your injuries when the facts and circumstances of the accident or incident that caused them to indicate that another party or entity is liable. For example, if a boat operator was boating while intoxicated and they struck you while riding a jet ski, they and their insurance company will be liable for your medical expenses. And if the rental company poorly maintained their jet skis that caused the accident that injured you, you would file against the company.
It is not uncommon for the liable party’s insurance company to present you with a quick offer of settlement after your jet ski injury. The settlement offer might seem to cover all of your immediate medical costs, lost earnings, and maybe even a bit extra. While you might be tempted to take the settlement, you do not need to feel rushed. You have a right to measure your complete damages before accepting a settlement.
