Boating Accidents

Boating accidents are common during the warmer months, when residents turn to the water to escape the heat. Sometimes boaters go out just for a quick spin and come back with serious injuries because of someone else’s negligence.

Collision accidents are common on boats, especially when the person at the helm is inexperienced or intoxicated. A boat may strike another vessel, rocks or sea animals. Passengers may be thrown overboard or injured in explosions. Other perils include capsizing and sinking, often due to unexpected storms and rough seas.

Some accidents are unavoidable, but others may be due to the negligence of another. When that happens, it is important to discuss your rights with an experienced personal injury attorney.
