A Canadian woman was killed after being struck by a Sea-Doo during a late night boat ride. The wrongful death is still under investigation by police, but they suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the boating accident.

The woman was standing on the back of the boat when the Sea-Doo came up from behind and hit her. The other passenger on the boat was also hit by the jet-ski, but was released from the hospital after only suffering minor injuries.

The operator of the Sea-Doo apparently lost control of the jet-ski and the personal watercraft went airborne when he fell off and hit the woman in the boat. Initially the man was believed to be lost at sea, but later turned himself into authorities.

The accident report says that the jet-ski came out of nowhere and she had little chance of avoiding it. The woman and her friend were in the ocean for a late-night boat ride; police are unsure what the man was doing on the jet-ski that night.

Boating accidents such as this can be hard on any family, which is why a wrongful death attorney can be a huge help. A wrongful death attorney will find who is liable for the boating accident and help you get compensation for your injuries.

On Saturday, July 11, 2009 a 35-year-old man was driving his 1991 Suburban when he swerved to avoid another car and was involved in an SUV rollover accident. The man was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead when he arrived.

The police investigating the Illinois rollover accident say that a 1998 Cadillac Deville was parked partially on the road facing the wrong direction. When the man driving the Suburban came around a corner, he saw the Cadillac and swerved to avoid hitting it. While the Suburban avoided the head-on auto accident, the driver lost control of the vehicle and it rolled over.

When the SUV rolled, the driver was partially ejected from the vehicle and was fatally injured. The driver of the Cadillac that was in the road said they had parked there to get their mail. Police are still looking into whether the SUV rollover was caused by drunk driving or drugs.

An SUV rollover accident such as this could be hard to handle without the assistance of an accident lawyer. An SUV rollover lawyer could help determine if the accident was caused by a product defect with the Suburban, or if the driver of the Cadillac is responsible for the accident.

In January 2009, a Las Vegas, Nevada man was killed after his pickup truck crashed into a construction vehicle a 4 a.m. The victim turned onto a road and hit the large piece of equipment. According to a lawsuit filed by the victim’s family, the Caterpillar scraper the man hit weighed over 100,000 pounds and that it had no reflective materials.

The construction accident lawsuit is holding the city of Henderson, Nevada, the sub-contractor, the construction company, resort, and resort builder responsible for the wrongful death. The lawsuit is holding these parties responsible because the road is owned by the city, and the auto accident occurred because of a lack of safety on the part of the construction project or because they were negligent in implementing their safety plan.

The lawsuit says that in addition to not having any reflective materials, there were no signs, lights, people, or barriers to warn drivers that there was construction in the area or that a huge machine was blocking the road.

Negligent construction companies like this deserve to be held responsible for the wrongful deaths they cause. If they had implemented a safety plan correctly, the man’s family would not be dealing with his death. If you have lost a loved one in a construction accident, please contact an experienced personal injury lawyer in your area.

During the Fourth of July holiday, thousands of people go to local lakes and beaches to enjoy the sun and the water. Unfortunately for some, the holiday weekend can end in pain and suffering when accidents occur. For one New York man, the fun ended on July 5, 2009 when he was sent to the hospital with broken ribs after a boating accident.

The man was allegedly racing another jet ski operator around a slalom course they did not have a permit to setup. During the race, the man’s jet ski spun out of control and the man was hit by the other jet ski operator.

The summer months send thousands of people flocking to local lakes and coastlines so they can get out on the water and enjoy time on their boats, jet skis, or other watercraft. For many families, however, boating accidents can turn deadly and leave the surviving family members dealing with a wrongful death.

According to reports, a teacher drowned on June 25, 2009 after being taken over a dam on a river while riding on a raft. The passengers on the raft were allegedly drinking alcohol and having fun until the small accident turned deadly. While everyone was reportedly wearing a floatation device, the recirculating water at the base of the dam kept the victim under for too long and she drowned.
