INJURED IN WATER SKIING BOAT ACCIDENT – MN ATTORNEYS
Water-skiing is a great sport and a fun activity in our land of 10,000 lakes. Of course, there are some natural risks associated with waterskiing (like falling, not wearing a life jacket, etc.). People are usually careful to avoid those risks and avoid injury. However, there are some dangers that the water-skier cannot control. For example, if the driver of the boat pulling the water skier does not drive safely and responsibly, a water ski accident injury can result. A greater risk is another boat on the lake that fails to keep a good lookout and hits the water skier.
It is important to remember that the skier behind the boat if vulnerable. Serious injury can result from a waterski accident where the skier is hit by another boat. A lawyer from our office was involved in one case where a water ski accident caused the loss of a water skier’s leg after he was hit by a boat.
