We Handle All Boating Accident Cases
Our firm is ready to step up and assist with accidents involving common watercraft, including:
- Speedboats
- Jet skis
- Personal watercraft
- Kayaks
- Paddleboats
- Yachts
- Ferries
Many of our clients are passengers on a vessel that strikes a dock or runs aground. Otherwise, they are hurt when a boat crashes after striking a wake wave or another hazard. People in smaller watercraft like canoes or paddleboats are sometimes struck by larger vessels like yachts.
Injuries often stem from traumatic blows to the body, which can break bones or cause a concussion. When thrown overboard, victims can suffer severe anoxic brain injuries if they struggle to breathe before rescue. Other victims break bones or suffer facial injuries when they hit the water at high speeds.
Our firm has the resources to fully investigate an accident to understand who has liability. Sometimes the operator of the boat is to blame for going too fast or misjudging distance. Other operators are intoxicated at the time of the crash, so they should not have been behind the wheel or motor.
Other accidents stem from mechanical issues on the vessel. Although the operator was careful, the boat failed to work as expected due a defect or poor maintenance. The boat owner could be liable for these types of accidents. Let us go over the facts and possibly inspect the vessel involved. Our goal is to gather as much evidence as possible to fully grasp who has liability for the crash, which is the first step to receiving compensation.
You Have a Fighter in Your Corner
A boat accident can send anyone to the hospital. You might have massive medical bills for life-saving treatment. Other damages include damage to the vessel (if you were hit) as well as lost income or wages. If a loved one died in a boating accident, we might seek wrongful death damages for you and your family.
Let us review how much to request. We can negotiate an injury settlement with the person responsible for the crash and possibly file a lawsuit when necessary to vindicate your rights. Our Spring Hill boat accident lawyer is available to meet anyone who has questions about these accidents. Our consultations are without charge.
