Let’s pretend that you and your family are traveling to Florida for a relaxing tropical vacation in Southwest Florida. You, your wife and your 12 and 14 year old daughter and son have been talking about the upcoming vacation for weeks, and plans are all set to enjoy a nice, peaceful week in paradise. Next, you find yourself & your family boarding a plane to Fort Myers, and the only thing your kids can rave about is the fun activities that you have planned for the weeks’ vacation- including: snorkelling, an air boat ride, beach volleyball, kayaking, a visit to the Edison & Ford Winter Estates Museum, and the several family outing boating trips that are planned for throughout the week.
Your plane lands in sunny Florida, and you couldn’t be happier that your vacation has arrived. You & your family spend the next several days taking the rental boat out fishing, kayaking the natural Florida waters, spotting alligators on the air boat ride, and snorkelling on top of the beautiful natural reefs. Towards the end of the week, your family decides they want to take the mid-size rental boat out one more time to enjoy some fishing and dolphin-watching. After traveling about a mile off-shore, you anchor the boat and begin pulling out the fishing gear to try and catch some fish during your last day in Fort Myers. After about 45 minutes and only one fish in hand, you decide to start pulling the anchor. As you are doing this, out of the corner of your eye you see a boat from the distance heading your way. You look up one more time, and before you know it, the boat hits the transom of your rental boat, sending you and your family out of the boat. Luckily, no damage seems to be inflicted right away on anyone in your family other than shock, and the passengers in the other boat remained unharmed other than some scratches. At first your kids and wife state that they were just shaken up, but not hurt. After waiting for about 20 minutes for the accident paperwork to be filed and marine police to arrive, your son starts complaining of sharp pains in his back. The situation becomes progressively worse as paramedics arrive at the scene to assess your son’s situation and find that he will need to be transported to a children’s hospital due to injuries caused to his spine.
Although this is a reality that we definitely do not wish this upon you or your family, similar situations are a common occurrence in Florida ever year.
