Mistakes to Avoid After a Boating or Jet Ski Accident

Failing to Seek Medical Attention

It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention after a boating or jet ski accident, even if injuries are not immediately apparent. Delaying medical treatment could not only jeopardize your health but also weaken your potential personal injury claim.

Not Preserving Evidence

Gathering evidence, such as photographs of the boat accident scene, witness statements, and official reports, is important for building a case. Failing to preserve evidence could hinder the investigation and affect the outcome of your claim.

Accepting a Quick Settlement

Insurance companies may offer quick settlements to minimize their liability. This is why you may want to consult a boat accident attorney before accepting any settlement.
