If you’ve been injured on a jet ski, as a rider, passenger, or bystander, AX Compensation Lawyers can help. Our experienced team supports clients across Queensland, offering clear legal guidance and strong representation.
Injured On A Jet Ski? Know Your Rights
Jet ski accidents can result in serious injuries, especially when caused by operator error, faulty equipment, or unsafe conditions. If someone else was at fault, you may have the right to claim compensation.
Queensland law sets strict time limits on jet ski injury claims. Getting early legal advice helps protect your options.
The Support You Need
We believe everyone should have access to quality legal help, regardless of finances. That’s why we offer a No Win, No Fee arrangement: you won’t pay our legal fees unless we secure compensation on your behalf.
Do I Have A Valid Jet Ski Accident Claim?
If your injury occurred while on or near a jet ski due to another party’s negligence, such as reckless driving, defective equipment, or unsafe conditions — you may have a valid compensation claim.
Every jet ski injury is different, but most successful claims involve some form of negligence. This might include a rental company failing to provide safe equipment, an operator ignoring waterway rules, or poor maintenance leading to an avoidable incident.
Here’s what we typically need to know:
To review your case, we’ll typically need:
- A clear summary of what happened and your injuries
- When and where the incident occurred
- Contact details for any witnesses
- Any photos, footage, or incident reports
- Information about involved insurers
- Medical records or hospital discharge summaries
- Employment details if your injury has impacted work
Not sure you have everything yet? That’s fine, we’ll help you gather what’s needed.
How AX Compensation Lawyers Can Help
At AX Compensation Lawyers, we know how disorienting and stressful a jet ski injury can be. Our goal is to make the legal process as smooth and supportive as possible, so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the details. We’ve helped Queenslanders pursue compensation after marine-related accidents and are here to guide you every step of the way.
Obligation Free Consultation
We provide an obligation free consultation to discuss the circumstances of your jet ski accident and explain your legal rights. During this initial conversation, we’ll assess whether you may have a valid claim and outline what’s involved.
We operate on a No Win, No Fee basis — you won’t pay our legal fees unless your claim is settled. We also cover initial out-of-pocket costs, like expert opinions and medical reports, so you can start your claim without added financial strain.
Lodging the Claim
Once we confirm that your jet ski accident claim is valid, we take care of the entire lodgement process on your behalf. This includes:
-
Preparing and submitting all required legal documentation.
-
Notifying the responsible party or their insurer.
-
Ensuring your claim complies with all Queensland legal timeframes.
Our team handles the full process so you don’t need to worry about missing key steps or deadlines.
Gathering Evidence
Building a strong jet ski accident compensation claim requires the right evidence. While some documents may need to be provided by you, we assist in obtaining additional evidence to support your case. This may include:
-
Incident reports and witness statements.
-
Medical records confirming your injury and treatment.
-
Expert evaluations, equipment safety reviews, or maintenance logs where relevant.
We guide you through the entire evidence process to make sure your claim is properly supported and documented.
Medical Assessments
If your injury requires further review, we can arrange independent medical assessments to support your claim. These assessments help determine:
-
The extent and severity of your injuries.
-
How your injury affects your daily life, work, or long-term capacity.
-
The ongoing treatment, support, or rehabilitation you may require.
We ensure these reports are conducted professionally and used effectively to strengthen your compensation claim.
Negotiation & Settlement
Most jet ski accident claims are resolved through negotiation without the need to go to court. We manage this process on your behalf, aiming to achieve a fair outcome that reflects the impact of your injury.
-
We negotiate directly with insurers and responsible parties.
-
We work to secure a settlement that covers your losses and supports your recovery.
-
If a fair agreement can’t be reached, we’re ready to take your case to court and represent you throughout the process.
Our goal is always to resolve your claim efficiently, while ensuring your compensation reflects the true impact of what you’ve experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jet Ski Accident Compensation Claims
Can I claim compensation if I was riding a hire jet ski?
Yes. If the hire company failed to provide safe equipment or adequate instructions, you may be entitled to claim compensation through their public liability insurer. This applies even if you signed a waiver.
Can passengers or bystanders injured in a jet ski accident make a claim?
Yes. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence — such as a careless operator or an unsafe jet ski hire — you may be able to claim compensation. This applies whether you were a passenger, swimming nearby, or observing from the shore.
Can I still receive jet ski injury compensation if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Under Queensland law, contributory negligence allows compensation to be reduced — not denied — based on your level of responsibility. You may still receive a partial payout.
Will my jet ski accident compensation claim go to court?
Most claims are resolved through negotiation without court involvement. However, if the insurer won’t agree to a fair settlement, our legal team is fully prepared to represent you in court.
What happens if the person who caused the jet ski accident doesn’t have insurance?
Even if the at-fault party is uninsured, you may still have options. Depending on the circumstances, a claim may be possible through your own insurance or other compensation pathways. We can advise you on the best approach.
Can I claim compensation if a child was injured in a jet ski accident?
Yes. A parent or legal guardian can bring a compensation claim on behalf of a child injured in a jet ski incident. Time limits for child injury claims are extended, but early legal advice is still recommended.
