California Personal Injury Lawyers—Jet Ski Accidents
On the California coast, boaters, water-skiers, and jet skiers flourish, and the proper precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of all those in and around the water by preventing jet ski and boating accidents. Jet skis and other personal watercraft can be particularly dangerous if not operated correctly; this is why the state of California sets specific guidelines for the operation of jet skis. These include:
- No one under the age of 16 can operate a watercraft with more than 15 horsepower without proper supervision from an individual 18 years of age or older.
- New watercraft operators should be taught boating safety and operation.
- An approved life jacket must be worn.
- You may not operate a jet ski under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Be sure to follow speed restrictions.
- Understand right-of-way rules on the water.
- Night riding is prohibited from sunset to sunrise.
Following these regulations while on the water can help to prevent jet ski crashes; however, jet ski accidents do continue to occur. If you or a loved one has sustained serious injury while operating a jet ski as a result of someone else’s negligence, contact the California personal injury lawyers at the Airola Law Offices.
