Every Jet ski Injury Claims is different. We need to consider carefully:

• how the accident precisely occurred;
• whether any element of equipment design or maintenance fell below reasonably acceptable standards;
• any deficiency in the boat driver’s conduct;
• the conduct of any other vessel that contributed to a collision, and its driver; and many other things.

For Jet ski Injury Claims – It all depends on the quality of your evidence, the quality of your lawyer’s investigation and the loss of income case your lawyer makes out.

If someone whose injury has had a significant effect on their quality of life (work, psychological, physical) is entitled to greater compensation than someone whose injury has had a minor impact on their lives.

As is the case in other situations, the right to claim damages for injury depends on the circumstances, and the basic five elements must be proved:-

• extent of duty owed;
• breach of duty;
• pre-existing health prior to the accident;
• pre-accident lifestyle;
• injury complained of has been caused by that breach.

The amount of compensation also is determined by the following:

• General damages (loss of enjoyment in life due to suffering);
• Out-of-pocket expenses (medical bills, rehabilitation costs);
• Any loss of income and superannuation contributions;
• Potential medical or personal care costs that are likely to occur due to the injury; and
• The interest from the loss of earnings.
