Companies like those that provide whale watching tours are responsible for maintaining a vessel that is safe for its passengers. An injury lawyer on our team can go over your specific case to determine liability and then ensure they take responsibility for the negligence that caused your injury.
While boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious crime and the operator will be facing criminal penalties, you still have a right to pursue compensation for your injuries. We have helped clients obtain substantial compensation in civil court for cases involving run-overs or strikes by intoxicated boat operators.
First off, it is crucial that you do not communicate any liability you may have had for an accident. Jet Ski accident cases can be complicated so we always do a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened.
