HAWAII KAYAK ACCIDENTS ATTORNEYS
SERVING CLIENTS IN HONOLULU & ACROSS ALL ISLANDS
If you want to enjoy the outdoors and get a great workout, but have no previous experience, you might consider participating in a guided kayaking expedition. Whether you decide to practice it alone or with a group, kayaking is a fun sport and according to Oliver Fix, who is the 1996 Olympic men’s kayak champion, kayaking offers an exceptional all-over body workout.
Knowledgeable and Skilled Kayaking Tour Guides are Essential
Some kayaking areas are more dangerous than others are. This is why you rely on a kayaking tour guide to keep you away from the treacherous lava rock areas in Hawaii. A kayaking tour guide should have all the recommended safety equipment available to him and know which kayaking techniques can reduce the risk of injury. If the unthinkable does happen during your kayaking adventure in Hawaii, the guide should have the knowledge and skills necessary to assist you in your time of need. If you were injured or lost a loved one during a guided kayaking expedition in Hawaii, you may want to consider contacting an experienced attorney in Hawaii.
Even when you choose to participate in an activity such as a guided kayaking expedition, companies could be responsible for injuries you sustain if their employees are negligent. You rely on these guides to be familiar with the areas you are kayaking in and to pay attention to the surf warnings for those areas. When the guide is irresponsible and disregards the safety precautions set forth by the National Weather Service, he could be found liable for any injuries you receive during the expedition.
Kayaking Excursion Gone Bad
Kayaking is supposed to be an enjoyable adventure. However, there are times when kayaking turns into a nightmare. This was the case for 15-year-old Tyler Madoff who was swept away during a kayaking excursion in Hawaii. Sadly, he did not survive. His parents state that his death is due to the negligent actions of Bold Earth Teen Adventures, The Hawaii Pack and Paddle Tour Company, and the tour guide. The Madoff family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Hawaii.
Wrongful death lawsuits are similar to personal injury actions. Family members who believe that the death of their loved one was caused by the negligent or wrongful conduct of another may want to seek legal assistance. In this kind of circumstance, an individual’s surviving family members file a wrongful death suit. If you want to learn more about wrongful death or personal injury lawsuits, consult a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Hawaii today.
Impact Injuries
An impact injury can occur when a kayak overturns or there is a head-on collision. Impact injuries include abrasions, cuts, strains, and sprains. Unfortunately, facial and head injuries sustained during kayaking are generally fatal.
A knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Hawaii can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve for your injuries and/or loss. Depending on the particular circumstances of your case, an experienced attorney can assist you in the recovery of lost income, medical expenses, as well as compensation for your pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been severely injured from a kayak accident, call (808) 740-0633 to schedule a free consultation with an experienced attorney from Davis Levin Livingston.
