Boating Accidents... If you have been injured in any kind of boat accident that was someone else’s fault, you have the right to be compensated for a wide range of damages, including property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, permanent injury and pain and suffering. In the event that a death of a family member or loved one resulted from a boating accident, a wrongful death suit can be filed. Our experienced boating accident lawyers will discuss your situation and go over your legal options, as well as work with insurance companies, and other parties involved in your boat accident case to make sure all your needs are taken care of appropriately. If you have been involved in a boating or waverunner accident, you can benefit from early representation from an experienced and proactive trial lawyer. Do not let the insurance company put their financial interests in front of yours and lead you into an quick, unfair settlement. For more information about your legal rights, please contact Attorney Timothy C. Nies to schedule a free consultation. Our attorneys and staff speak Spanish, French & Portuguese.
Our boating accident trial lawyers represent boaters and passengers in the South Florida area, including Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale who have suffered personal injuries, or lost loved ones in boating and personal watercraft accidents and collisions. Our maritime lawyers will work hard with our expert reconstruction experts and maritime experts to determine the details of your accident to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Carelessness or reckless operation, operator inexperience, inattention, operator inexperience, intoxication and excessive speed are the top contributing factors of all reported boating accidents. Boating accidents include capsizing, collisions, sinking/flooding, explosions, fire and more. The most reported type of accident was a collision with another vessel. Capsizing and falls on boats account for more than 1/2 of all boating casualties.
Although most accidents are due to driver error, other factors such as a negligently designed boat or other equipment, also cause serious boat accidents. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your boating accident to ensure that all responsible parties are held responsible in a court of law, including civil lawsuits against boat manufacturers when a failure of the hull or other machinery causes injuries.
