Boating is popular in Jacksonville, and thousands of people enjoy this activity every year.

Whether you were injured on a jet ski, canoe, motorboat, speedboat, sailboat or a yacht, you can greatly increase your chances of receiving the settlement you deserve by retaining the services of Jason K.S. Porter. Our firm fights for the rights of the injured to receive compensation, and we will do everything we can to assist you at this difficult time.

Florida Boating Laws

Florida laws regulate the use of watercraft, including boats and jet skis. With the vast amount of waterways in Florida, many people enjoy water sport activities. Accidents involving boats and jet skis can result in serious injuries or wrongful deaths. Injuries can include fractures, dislocations, amputations, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, internal organ damage, coma, and drowning. Victims often require hospitalization and rehabilitation before returning to their prior lifestyle.

If your accident was caused by another person's negligence, you deserve to be compensated for your pain and suffering, as well as for the financial costs associated with the injury. These can include your ambulance bill, emergency medical treatment, hospital bills and your expenses for any type of rehabilitative treatment you will require. You can also claim compensation for the money you will lose by missing work during your recovery.

Many people who have suffered boating injuries go under-compensated or receive a smaller settlement than they deserve, but a Jacksonville boating accident lawyer from our firm will represent your claim to help you pursue the maximum amount possible.

    "Aggressive and Compassionate. Highly Recommend."
    I'd been accused of something I did not do. My situation was a total nightmare. I consulted with Attorney Porter and he assured me that my tough situation could be handled. Attorney Gary Shumar tirelessly worked my case, while showing patience and empathy when I felt frustrated. Needless to say, my charges were dropped. I highly recommend this firm.
