Boating Accidents

A boating accident can turn a leisurely afternoon into a horrific memory in a split second. Our firm represents people who sustained injuries in boating accidents, or who have lost family members in boating accidents. The period following a boating accident is traumatic, and we want to put our experience to work for you by representing your interests and making sure you understand your rights if you have been injured or your loved one has been injured.

Boating accidents can happen on small, personal watercraft like jet skis, commercial ferries, or on private boats. Usually boat accidents happen as a result of poor weather, dangerous water conditions, equipment failure, driver mistake or inexperience, drug use, or alcohol. As the injured party, or the survivor of someone killed in a boating accident, it is possible that you have a right to compensation for your injuries or your loss. In general, boat operators and owners have a duty to act with the greatest degree of care to avoid injuring passengers, swimmers, and others in the surrounding water or on nearby boats. I will represent your interests proactively and diligently by discussing your case with you, explaining your legal options, and working with other parties involved, including insurance companies, to find a resolution that is fair and just.
