Tampa, FL (August 13, 2018) – In 2017, there were almost a million boats registered in Florida, more specifically 944,162. In 2017, there were 766 boating accidents across Florida. Boating accidents happen every year across Florida and we want to stand by your side if you have been affected by one of these accidents.
Two jet skis collided with one another yesterday afternoon near the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The call came in around 3:15 p.m. to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Police continue to investigate the incident.
Accidents happen on our waterways every day in Florida, as many people are out for recreational purposes and more. In 2017, one of the leading causes of these accidents was the operator’s inattention to maintain a proper lookout on the water. We want to extend our condolences to you if you have been involved in one of these accidents.
