Boat & Jet Ski Accidents

Florida is known as the “Sunshine State” for a reason. Every year, thousands of locals and tourists flock to our rivers and coasts to take advantage of the sun and surf. Because of this and the fact that Florida has the highest number of registered recreational vessels in the country, Florida is a nationwide leader for the highest occurrence of boating accidents.

It is not unusual for a trip out on the water to catch some Florida fish or enjoy some fun in the sun with a jet ski (or other types of personal watercraft) to end in tragedy. Most of these accidents result from someone else’s negligence or recklessness while out on the water. Frequently, alcohol is involved, resulting in the recovery of punitive damages to punish and deter such egregious behavior in the future.

If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury in a boat, personal watercraft, or jet ski accident in Brevard County, contact Alpizar Law, LLC for a free case evaluation from a Brevard County personal injury attorney who can help.

Why Hire a Brevard County Attorney for Your Boating Accident

Whether your personal watercraft collided with another boat or a serious accident on board a boat, the outcome can be extremely severe. When the accident occurred due to someone else’s recklessness, the injured parties may be eligible to file a personal injury claim and fight to recover compensation for their injuries and damages.

Injuries caused by boating accidents include broken bones, neck and back injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and spinal cord injury. Make sure that you receive fair compensation by retaining an attorney with the experience and aggression to help. Our lawyers at Alpizar Law, LLC in Central Florida are skilled in uncovering and preserving evidence of such negligence, including boating under the influence (BUI), operator distraction, defective products, and vessels that are not seaworthy.

Focus on Your Recovery

As the victim of a boating accident or those involved in jet ski accidents, you should be able to concentrate on the most important aspect of the process – healing and recovery. Injuries that are sustained during the boating accident have the potential to be very severe. The last thing that an accident victim needs to worry about is the legal process of the lawsuit, paying for medical bills, and dealing with insurance companies. That is where a personal injury attorney with experience and expertise in boating or personal watercraft accidents comes into play.

At Alpizar Law, LLC, we form a solid attorney-client relationship with our clients because we know that is the best way to help you with the healing process. We strive to take care of all of the legal issues that may arise so that you can relax and focus on your recovery. It is important to leave the stress and anxiety of the boating accident behind so that you can concentrate on healing.

Our legal team is here to investigate the circumstances of the accident, contact the relevant authorities, including the police or Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, for their reports, and gather evidence from any sources. This allows us to develop a solid legal strategy that we will use to demonstrate why you deserve compensation for your injuries and losses.

Relieve Stress from Your Loss

If a loved one was pronounced dead at the scene where a boat collision occurred in Central Florida, there is nothing that will provide total solace to that person’s family. However, in a wrongful death lawsuit, our lawyers will work tirelessly to get justice for your loved one and recover compensation to help you pay for the expenses of a funeral. Although the money will not be a substitute for your loved one, it can help take the stress and anxiety off your family during this challenging time.
