Unsafe Beach Conditions Can Lead to Serious Injury

Injuries on Land and Water
Accidents at the beach, from slip-and-falls to drowning, can be the result of unsafe structures such as docks, piers, restrooms, walkways and stairs. Failure to mark deep water drop-offs, dangerous riptides, designated swimming areas and boating lanes can also cause accidents. Sometimes, beach vehicles driving on the beach negligently strike an innocent sunbather.
Personal Watercraft: A Common Cause of Injury
In addition, boating and Jet Ski accidents can be caused by:
- Collisions with other watercraft
- Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Letting children operate a watercraft
- Lack of safety equipment on board
- Capsizing or sinking
- Running aground
- Falling overboard
- Being hit by a watercraft while swimming
Watercraft accidents can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and back injuries. If your accident was caused by the negligence of another party, we can seek compensation for your losses. You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, long-term care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
