Daytona Beach: Boating Accidents and Injuries
The Daytona Beach area is world-renowned for its beautiful beaches and inland lakes. Unfortunately, beautiful waterways often lead to boating accidents or wrecks involving jet skis or other personal watercraft.
In 2006, Florida had the second-highest number of boating accidents, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Volusia County had a relatively low number of boating accidents that year; the county was ranked 13th in Florida for the number of accidents per the number of registered watercraft, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Injured on a Cruise Ship?
Attorney James W. Ledford has also successfully resolved injury claims on behalf of clients who were hurt while on cruise ships. These cases are usually covered by the terms of your contract with the cruise line. This contract can usually be found on the ticket itself, or in information that was included with your ticket when you bought it.
Cruise ship injury cases can be difficult because the contract language usually limits the time for filing a personal injury lawsuit to one year from the date of injury, a shorter than normal time period for bringing claims.
