Why Jet Ski Accidents Are So Complicated
Jet ski injury claims involve more than just a simple negligence case. These accidents often take place on open water, which means a mix of Florida law and federal maritime law may apply. Add in insurance loopholes, confusing waiver agreements, and hard-to-prove liability, and you’ve got a case that demands deep legal experience.
Some of the most common causes of jet ski accidents include:
- Inexperienced or intoxicated operators
- Speeding or reckless behavior
- Mechanical failures
- Unsafe rental equipment
- Poor visibility or crowded waterways
If your crash involved a rental jet ski, there’s a good chance the company had you sign a waiver. But that doesn’t always mean they’re not responsible. Our attorneys know how to challenge unfair agreements and investigate whether safety protocols were ignored.
What You Should Do After a Jet Ski Accident
If you or someone you care about was injured in a jet ski crash, taking the right steps early on can protect your claim:
- Seek medical care immediately. Even if injuries seem minor, internal injuries or head trauma can worsen without treatment.
- File an official report. This may be with local police, the Coast Guard, or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, depending on where it happened.
- Gather evidence. Take photos, get witness names, and hold onto any documents like rental contracts or medical records.
Do not speak to the insurance company without legal help. Their goal is to minimize payouts. Ours is to protect you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do I have to file a jet ski accident claim in Florida?
Most negligence claims in Florida must be filed within 2 years. If the accident occurred on a cruise or was maritime in nature, a different timeline may apply — some as short as 1 year with a 6-month notice requirement.
Can I still sue if I signed a waiver?
Possibly. Waivers don’t always hold up in court, especially if the rental company failed to maintain the equipment or didn’t follow safety regulations. Let our legal team review your situation.
What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?
We’ll explore every option, including going after the rental company or other liable parties. Sometimes your own uninsured boater coverage may apply.
