It’s hard to know who to turn to when a day out on the water ends with you being hurt in a jet-ski accident. The medical bills, lost income, and cost of repairing your damaged property can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars, and that may be money you don’t have on hand. Have you ever thought that you should not be the person responsible for paying those expenses?
If you didn’t cause your accident, you shouldn’t be the one paying for it. In fact, the negligent party who did cause the accident is the one who is responsible for your accident-related expenses. A College Park boating and watercraft accident lawyer from Kaine Law is ready to fight for you. Our personal injury lawyers have nearly two decades of experience and a track record of winning millions for our clients in personal injury cases.
How to Prove Negligence Caused Your Jet Ski Accident
A College Park personal injury lawyer can help prove that your accident was unnecessary and caused by negligence. This is an important element of establishing your legal right to hold the person who caused your accident financially accountable for their negligence. Georgia’s negligence standard requires accident victims to prove the following:
- Duty of care: Jet ski operators have an affirmative duty to operate their jet safely and in a fashion that proactively reduces the chance they could cause harm to others.
- Breach of duty: We can help show how the negligent party in your case breached that duty by operating their jet ski recklessly (e.g., speeding, DUI)
- Cause: The next step is demonstrating that the reckless behavior by the other party was the root cause of your accident.
- Damages: Lastly, we will help you conclusively prove that you suffered losses of a financial and emotional nature due to the accident.
Our firm has two decades of experience helping clients prove negligence in cases like jet-ski accidents. That experience has translated into our ability to collect millions of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts on behalf of our clients. Our firm’s founder, Evan Kaine, is more than just an experienced attorney. He is a member of the multi-million-dollar advocates’ forum, which means he has won multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for his clients.

Do Jet-Ski Operators Have to Carry Insurance?
Georgia law requires car owners and drivers to carry liability insurance to cover damages if they cause accidents. Unfortunately, there is no such provision for jet-ski owners. Many jet-ski owners do, however, carry liability insurance. If that’s the case, our college park jet-ski accident lawyers can deal directly with the insurance company for you.
We will handle the negotiations and fight to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses. It’s no secret that dealing with an insurance company can be very difficult and extremely stressful for accident victims. One of the big advantages of having us on your team is that you won’t have to deal with that stressful process.
We will keep you updated on the status of your case and the negotiations, but you won’t have to participate directly in that aspect of your case. One of our main objectives in serving our clients is taking care of these notoriously difficult and energy-draining areas of personal injury cases. This allows our clients to focus on making a full recovery from their injuries.
What if the Jet Ski Operator Doesn’t Have Insurance?
This is also an area where we can help. If the jet-ski operator who caused your accident didn’t have insurance, they are still responsible for the damage they caused in the accident. Our jet-ski accident attorneys will pursue them directly for damages. We will try to negotiate a settlement with them just like we would with the insurance company. If those negotiations fail, we will take them to court and fight for a jury verdict.

What Damages Can You Collect in Jet-Ski Accidents?
Jet-ski accidents can cause very serious injury to accident victims. As a victim, you are allowed to demand full compensation for any costs connected to recovering from your accident or repairing any accident-related damages (such as repairing or replacing your damaged jet-ski). You may also demand compensation for other economic expenses, such as lost income or transport to medical facilities after the accident. These are all examples of economic damages.
Georgia law also allows you to demand compensation for damages of a non-financial nature after a jet-ski accident. Accident victims suffer physical pain and often experience mental stress or anguish related to their injuries. In severe cases where the accident leads to life-long medical conditions (e.g., paralysis, limb amputation), accident victims also suffer from lost quality of life. These are examples of non-economic damages, and we will fight as hard for them as we do your economic damages.
