JET SKI ACCIDENT INJURY – ATTORNEYS MN
Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, so of course there are many thousands of Jet skis on the lakes. Jet Skis are a lot of fun, and our own family owns two that we use every summer. However, it is important to be aware that Jet Ski accident cases happen on MN lakes and rivers every year. Last August, for example, a man fell off a Jet Ski on a Brainerd lake and drowned.
Also last summer, a 72 year old man was killed near Mississippi Point Park in Champlin. He crashed while driving a Jet Ski at high speed. He died from blunt force trauma. Witnesses initially thought there had been a passenger on the Jetski at the time of the accident. Fortunately, he was riding alone.
CAUSES OF JET SKI ACCIDENTS
Jet Ski accidents in MN can happen a number of different ways. One problem is that the Jet ski boats are small compared to other boats on the lake. Therefore, other boats might not see them, causing a collision. Jet Ski cases also come from an injured passenger when the operator of the boat was driving recklessly or too fast. The Jet Ski might crash into something, like a dock, causing an injury to the passenger. In other cases, the passenger is thrown off the Jet Ski and injured.
There have also been many injuries as a result of someone tubing behind a Jet Ski. This happens when the Jet-Ski goes too fast or pulls the tube into a dock or another boat. No matter what the cause of the accident, if there is a serious injury on a Jet Ski, a lawyer should be consulted.We will make sure an investigation is being done in a thorough manner and statements are taken from the witnesses.
