Jet Ski or Personal Water Craft Accidents

Whether you call it a jet ski, wave runner, Sea Doo or personal watercraft, one thing is for certain: they are a lot of fun. But if the operator is inexperienced, inattentive, intoxicated or reckless, a serious accident can happen. At The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. we are committed to helping victims of jet ski accidents. For decades, John Day has owned and operated jet skis so he is well-versed in their operation and the laws and regulations governing them.

According to the most recent report from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, in 2015, Tennessee had 12 jet skis accidents resulting in 9 injuries and three fatalities.  Jet ski accidents can result in brain injuries, broken bones and even drownings If you or a loved one has been injured in a serious jet ski accident due to someone's negligence, do not be just a statistic in a government report.
