Parasailing Accidents
Parasailing - the recreational use of a parachute deployed from the back of a moving motorboat - is a popular vacation adventure. It also can be a dangerous or even deadly exercise. Each year in vacation destinations throughout the U.S. and abroad, tourists are killed or injured while enjoying parasailing.
Chalik & Chalik has closely followed the evolution of this industry, and is experienced in recognizing poorly run or maintained parasailing operations.
From the operation of appropriately licensed / certified, maintained and staffed parasailing vessels and businesses, to ensuring safety procedures are established and adhered to, we can help individuals injured, or the families of those killed in avoidable parasailing mishaps. We can help determine whether parasailing vendors have:
- Appropriate commercial business and individual operator licenses
- Necessary staffing to both operate the vessel as well as those who monitor the rider or parasail rider's progress, and medical training in case of emergency
- Operated in suitable conditions, including weather, or proximity to other vessels, land, structures, etc.
- Briefed passengers on use and dangers related to parasailing
If you or a loved one is injured in a parasailing accident resulting from faulty equipment or someone else's liability or negligence, contact Chalik & Chalik for your complimentary personal injury consultation.
