Jet Ski & Watercraft

Attorney Manny Arce and his firm has had considerable experience working as a Jet Ski Injury Lawyer and has handled numerous claims where people have been injured due to the negligence of other boat owners or Jet Ski drivers acting in a haphazard and dangerous manner.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers know thoroughly the laws that would apply on non-navigable waters such as small lakes and rivers. We also know the admiralty and maritime laws that would apply if your boating accident happened on the high seas. These differences can make a tremendous impact on the handling of a Jet Ski or Personal Watercraft accident case.

Personal Watercrafts may be the small boats where you are fishing or diving from, or the small boats that are pulling you while water-skiing or parasailing.

Also, many Florida vacationers have entrusted concessionaires, or business owners, who have given them shoddy equipment and/or inadequate safety instructions. This is one of the major areas of personal injury cases in the State of Florida.  You need a Florida Personal Injury attorney – an experienced jet ski injury or watercraft injury attorney to help you win a case against concessionaires who attempt to hide their negligent behavior behind the Ship Owner’s Limitation of Liability Act. This is a Federal Statute that defense attorneys attempt to use to shield their concessionaire clients from liability. Depending on the case, we know how to argue that this avenue of defense does not apply.

Our Florida personal injury lawyers are well versed in watercraft and Jet Ski law and have handled cases that include:

• Careless and neglectful safety instructions
• Boating while under the influence of drugs and alcohol
• Collisions
• Speeding
• Unsafe equipment
• Hazardous operation of watercrafts
