Boating Accidents

Boating Accident

No one ever expects to be involved in a boating accident. However, these accidents can happen when you least expect. If you or a loved one has been involved in a boating accident, it is important to call a lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal process so that you get the compensation you deserve. We help gather evidence and witnesses for your case, and negotiate with the other party’s insurance company on your behalf. Boating accidents can be complex, but a lawyer will make sure that your rights are protected.

 

Jet skiing, water-skiing, yachting, sailing, and tubing are all popular activities that can lead to a variety of boating accidents. These accidents can create expensive, often debilitating or even fatal injuries for their victims. Most claimants who are injured are sometimes accused of contributing to their injuries (“apportionment of fault”) due to failing to follow certain safety precautions. If you’re going to be out on the water, be sure to take all necessary precautions and always wear a life jacket, remain seated when the boat is moving, etc. By being safety conscious, you can help to prevent being deemed partially at fault should an accident occur.

Calling a lawyer after a boating accident can give you peace of mind and ensure that you are fairly compensated for your damages. Even if you aren’t sure if you need a lawyer, it’s always a good idea to consult with one. We can advise you on your legal rights and options and help you to make the best decisions for your case.

The payout and laws vary for personal versus government related cases. Both private (meaning a non-government person) and government parties that are at fault fall under strict time limitations that do vary. Understanding the difference between the two types of cases can affect your rights and compensation you deserve. Reach out to make sure that you are properly protected and represented.
