Can I file an injury claim if I was hurt in a jet ski or boat rental accident?

Yes, you can pursue an injury claim following a rental boat or personal watercraft crash. Liability often extends beyond a negligent operator to the vessel livery company. Under Fla. Stat. § 327.54, rental liveries are legally prohibited from renting vessels to individuals without providing mandatory pre-rental safety instructions or verifying required boater education. If a facility provided poorly maintained equipment, failed to supply required personal flotation devices, or rented to an unfit operator, they may share liability for your harm. The Altman Law Firm investigates rental contracts, maintenance logs, and safety compliance to hold all negligent entities accountable.
