Paul K. Downes Verdicts & Settlements

Teen injured on Jet Ski when struck by boat, confidential settlement

August 21, 2004, our 12-year-old client was a passenger on a Jet Ski on Dunham Lake in Burnett County, WI that was struck by a boat driven by a minor. The impact was significant. The driver of the Jet Ski was killed instantly. During the collision, our client was thrown from the jet ski and knocked unconscious.

Our client sustained serious and permanent injuries from this incident to her head, spleen, kidney, ribs and legs. In addition, she suffered from psychological trauma.

Paul Downes settled this case against the insurer for the boat and the Jet Ski’s insurance for a significant amount. At the request of the defendant’s insurance company, the amount is confidential.
