What Causes Jet Ski Accidents?

Jet skis are small, fast, and require quick thinking to control. While many riders operate them safely, some accidents result from reckless or negligent behavior. Common causes of jet ski accidents include:

  • Operator inexperience or error
  • Speeding or reckless riding
  • Alcohol or drug use
  • Equipment failure or manufacturing defects
  • Poor maintenance by rental companies
  • Collisions with other watercraft or fixed objects

In general, if someone else’s carelessness caused your accident in Chattanooga, you may be entitled to compensation.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Your Injuries?

Determining who is at fault in a jet ski accident isn’t always straightforward. Multiple parties could be responsible, depending on how the crash occurred. At The McMahan Law Firm, we take the time to investigate every angle and identify who should be held accountable.

Liability may fall on 1 or more of the following parties.

  • Another rider or boat operator: If someone else was acting recklessly (e.g., speeding, failing to yield, or ignoring safety rules), they could be held liable for your injuries.
  • A rental company: Businesses that rent out jet skis must keep their equipment in a safe, working condition. If a crash happens because of poor maintenance or a lack of safety instructions, the company may be responsible.
  • A manufacturer: Sometimes, a defect in the jet ski itself, like a faulty throttle or steering issue, leads to a serious crash. In these cases, the manufacturer could be liable for producing or selling a dangerous product.
  • A negligent owner: If someone allowed an unqualified or intoxicated person to operate their jet ski, they could be held responsible for the resulting harm.

Every case is unique, and uncovering the truth takes experience and persistence. Our attorneys know where to look, what evidence to preserve, and how to build a case that holds the right parties accountable.

What Compensation Could I Receive?

Depending on the details of your case, you may be eligible to recover compensation for a wide range of losses. Our goal is to make sure nothing is overlooked and to fight for the full amount that you could be entitled to.

Some of the losses that may be recovered with the help of a jet ski accident lawyer in Chattanooga are:

Jet ski crashes can cause serious injuries that require emergency care, surgery, rehab, and follow-up visits. We’ll work to recover compensation for both current and future medical costs related to your injuries.

If your injuries kept you from working, you may be entitled to recover lost income. This can include missed paychecks, reduced earning potential, or lost business opportunities.

Physical pain, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life after an accident deserve recognition. We’ll include these damages when calculating what your case may be worth.

If your personal watercraft, safety gear, or other belongings were damaged in the crash, we’ll seek compensation for repairs or replacement.

If the accident left you with long-term or life-changing injuries, we’ll work to secure compensation for future medical care, accessibility needs, and reduced quality of life.

If you lost a family member in a jet ski crash, we can help you pursue a wrongful death claim. Compensation may cover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the emotional toll of your loss.

We’re here to pursue every available option and fight to maximize your settlement or verdict, so you can focus on moving forward.

There Is Limited Time to File a Claim

Tennessee law sets a strict, 1-year deadline for filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation entirely.

Acting quickly also helps preserve crucial evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, and physical damage to the watercraft. These details can make a big difference in the strength of your case.

If you were hurt or lost a loved one, don’t wait. The sooner you contact The Insiders, the sooner we can start building your case and protecting your rights.

Guys listen! My Attorneys Jill Crouch and Brent who run the place are the most proficient accident attorneys I've ever witnessed! No lie, I got awarded an amount bigger than a yearly salary from an 18 wheeler accident settlement through them!! (If you know, you know!) I get paid sometime this month! It took less than a year to settle and the ONLY reason it took that long was because the treatment was extensive and needed months to complete.
