Personal Watercraft Accidents
Georgia and Florida Personal Watercraft Accident Attorneys
Making the System Work for You
Personal Watercraft users are extremely vulnerable to injury during accidents. Speeding, alcohol or drug use, and neglecting safety regulations, either on the part of the rider or another boater, greatly increase the likelihood of a serious accident. When Jet Ski, wave rider, or wave runner accidents occur, the results are often devastating. Victims are often left with serious injuries or permanent disabilities. Some do not survive.
If you or someone you love was involved in a wake boarding accident, Farah & Farah can assist you. Our familiarity with admiralty law can help you get the compensation that you and your family need. Call Farah & Farah today for a free consultation.

Safety Tips for Personal Watercraft
Wear protective clothing. This includes a life jacket and a wet suit bottom.
Take a boating safety course. A good idea, especially since most people who own personal watercraft own boats as well.
Keep your distance. Stay away from other boats, swimmers, and objects.
Pay attention. Boats do not have brakes, so scanning for possible problems is essential. Obey all signs (e.g. "no wake") and signals.
Boat defensively. As with a car, do not operate the watercraft aggressively.
