When you are involved in a boating accident, your injuries can be substantial. You may feel lost and out of control of your future. Our Orlando boat accident lawyers want to help you get the justice that you deserve. Let our personal injury attorneys hold liable parties accountable for your damages. Please call us today to set up a free initial consultation. Let’s get started on getting you justice.
Get immediate medical attention for your injuries. Any delay can raise the suspicions of the insurance company and may cause them to say that you did not get hurt as badly as you say you did.
Call a lawyer as soon as you can. The sooner the better. You do not want to let the statute of limitations run out to where you are no longer able to bring your claim for compensation.
Do not give the insurance company a recorded statement, even if they try to tell you that it will help your case go by quicker. This statement is going to be used against you to decrease your compensation. Let your lawyers handle it.
Boating is a popular and enjoyable activity with people flocking to lakes, rivers, and oceans to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery of Orlando. This widespread use of boats, however, leads to serious injuries and deaths on a regular basis. Boating accidents refer to an accident in any type of watercraft in which a serious injury resulted from someone else’s negligence. Serious injuries can occur in a yacht, boat, jet ski, kayak, or fishing boat. Boating incidents can also include commercial boats or a cruise ship accident in which no boating collision occurred. If any operator of any watercraft is negligent and causes serious property damage and/or serious injury or death in your family, you have the right to be compensated.
Given the vulnerability of the occupants in a watercraft, most of the accidents result in serious injuries, such as brain damage, spinal cord damage, and death. Most boating accidents are boat-to-boat collisions and boats colliding with a stationary object. Alcohol is a factor in a significant amount of these accidents. Due to the unique nature of boating accidents and the serious injuries involved, it is important to hire a lawyer with experience and knowledge of boating accidents. Unique laws apply to these cases depending on where and how they occur, and a failure to have knowledge about these specific laws can be fatal to a boat crash case.
