Why Hire a Personal Injury Attorney for Boat Accidents

Boat AccidentsBoat accidents can be difficult cases, which is why you may need a boating accident lawyer to fight your case. These cases often require a significant amount of work from an experienced personal injury attorney. You may need evidence like witness statements, records from marine police, and professional accident reconstructions to prove your case.

There may also be many liable parties for your case. We identify negligent parties and seek compensation from them for your injuries. Liable parties may include:

  • Boat Drivers: Boat operators owe you the same duty of care that they would in a car on the road. If you were injured because of their negligence or recklessness, you can seek compensation from them.
  • Boat Owners: Boat owners who allow inexperienced operators to use their watercraft may also be liable for your damages and injuries after a boating accident.
  • Boat Manufacturers: If your boating accident was caused by a boat defect, then you may have a case against the boating manufacturer through product liability
  • Boat Rental Companies: Boat rental companies are responsible for renting you a boat that is reasonably safe. If they knowingly rented you a boat with damage or a defect that created a safety hazard, you might have a case against them.
