Factors that lead to personal watercraft accidents

On behalf of Thompson & Evangelo, P.A. on Monday, August 6, 2018.

We have all heard about jet skis, the water vehicles you can rent while on vacation or buy for your own personal use. The popularity of personal watercraft (PWC) is increasing in Florida and other states with beautiful beaches. Though it’s a thrill to ride the waves, PWC can be just as dangerous as cars. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there was 671 PWC accidents in Florida in 2015 – 52 deaths.

If operators and passengers are not following the "rules of the road" while out on the water, accidents can happen. Accidents on the water can happen for a variety of reasons, but it is important to be aware of the common causes of PWC accidents.

On behalf of Thompson & Evangelo, P.A. posted in blog on Monday, February 12, 2018.

Our furry, four-legged friends may turn into enemies when they snap and attack unexpectedly. It can happen at a moment’s notice and injuries could lead to surgeries, temporary loss of mobility, trauma and more. Unfortunately, small children are at the highest risk of getting badly injured by a dog bite. It can be devastating to try and recover trust in an animal that has caused physical and emotional pain.

You and your loved ones deserve to be prepared to handle matters should a dog bite happen. This means keeping an account of any medical costs associated with the injury and taking plenty of pictures and witness statements if moving forward with legal action.

On behalf of Thompson & Evangelo, P.A. posted in blog on Friday, November 10, 2017.

In the immediate aftermath of a car accident, many details demand attention. You will have to file a claim with insurance, get your car fixed and you might have to take a day or two off work. Once everything is under control, you can be relieved to put the incident behind you.
