Runabouts and jet skis are common watercraft involved in boating accidents, and serious injuries and even fatalities are typically caused by propeller accidents or high speed boat collisions. Since boating and alcohol are often mixed, numerous accidents occur each and every boating season due to someone’s negligence or irresponsibility. Also contributing to boating accidents is the lack of any training or certification required to operate small pleasure boats on our lakes and waterways.

Personal injury claims are legal disputes that arise when an individual suffers harm from an accident or injury caused by the negligence or intention of another individual or party. A personal injury case can become formalized through civil court proceedings, or may be resolved through an informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed.
Unlike criminal cases, which are initiated by the government, a formal personal injury case typically starts when a private individual (plaintiff) files a civil charge against another individual, business, corporation, or government agency (defendant), alleging that their negligent or careless actions caused the plaintiff to sustain injury or harm.
Most personal injury disputes are resolved through an informal settlement, usually between those involved in the dispute, their insurers, and attorneys representing both sides. A settlement commonly takes the form of negotiation, followed by a written agreement in which both sides forgo any legal recourse, opting instead to resolve the dispute through an acceptable monetary arrangement.
