Protecting Your Rights, Securing Your Future
Boating accidents can lead to severe injuries and devastating consequences. If you or a loved one has been involved in a boating accident, it is essential to report the incident to the proper authorities and seek immediate medical assistance. At 800PAIN, we specialize in connecting you with expert legal and medical professionals to help you navigate the complex legalities of boating accident cases and recover the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Boating Accidents
With thousands of lakes, rivers, and miles of coastline across the United States, boating and marine activities are a popular pastime. However, the prevalence of boating and yachting also leads to an increased number of accidents nationwide. These cases are often governed by a combination of federal and state laws, making them complex and challenging to resolve without proper legal representation.
At 800PAIN, our network of personal injury attorneys specializes in boating and marine accidents across the country. These professionals understand the nuances of state and federal laws and are dedicated to protecting your rights.
Causes of Boating Accidents
Boating accidents can result from a variety of factors, including:
- Operator Negligence: Distracted or reckless operation, excessive speed, and lack of training.
- External Conditions: Inclement weather, submerged objects, or collisions with swimmers.
- Equipment Issues: Mechanical failures, lack of maintenance, or insufficient safety equipment.
- Substance Use: Alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medication impairing the operator’s abilities.
Types of Boating Accidents We Handle
Our network of experienced attorneys has handled a wide range of boating-related cases involving:
- High-performance boats
- Personal watercraft (Jet Skis)
- Sportfishing boats
- Open motorboats
- Yachts and mega yachts
- Canoes, kayaks, and pontoon boats
Injuries and Liability in Boating Accidents
Boating accidents can result in catastrophic injuries or even fatalities due to the lack of protection for operators and passengers. Victims often suffer from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Burns and lacerations
To recover compensation, victims and their attorneys must prove negligence on the part of the boat operator. This involves demonstrating:
- Duty of Care: The operator owed their passengers and others a duty to operate the vessel safely.
- Breach of Duty: The operator failed to meet this standard.
- Causation: The breach of duty caused injuries to the victim(s).
Nationwide Boating Accident Support
Under the Pure Comparative Fault Doctrine followed in many states, victims can recover compensation even if they are partially responsible for the accident. This means you may still be eligible to pursue damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more, even if you share some fault.
