The jet ski accident occurred on Saturday June 23, 2012, however, it resulted in quite a tragic and unfortunate travesty; Cayce passed away two days later on Monday.
After the accident, Cayce was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Another victim in the jet ski accident was treated in a different hospital for injuries sustained, but fortunately, they were was released after treatment.
Jet skis are a very popular summertime sport. Many people ride jet skis by themselves or with inner tubes attached. However, for those who enjoy such water sports, you must be aware of the dangers surrounding them. An accident can very easily happen when there are many people near you doing the same thing.
In Alaska, boating, jet skiing, and sailing are all common in the summertime. Therefore, if you happen to get in a maritime accident you will want to call an Anchorage accident lawyer for legal guidance and representation. They will help you get the compensation you rightfully deserve as the victim in an accident. Just don’t wait too long to call them. The sooner you hire a personal injury attorney, the sooner they can begin building your case while all evidence and information is still widely available.
