Boating Accident

Are boating accidents common?

Boating accidents are common in south Florida. In terms of registered boat owners, Florida is at the top of the list. The waters that surround this wonderful state are well-known for fishing, diving, and simply enjoying the warm weather. According to the US Coast Guard, Florida experienced the most boat accidents in the country in 2018, with 607. ​

Should I file a boat accident lawsuit?

Involvement in a boating accident can be a terrifying experience. To file a personal injury lawsuit after the accident, there are then several stages to follow, and each one is crucial to safeguarding your right to compensation for any injuries you may have sustained. Injuries that have occurred on Florida's waterways are subject to unique regulations and practice expertise.

Many of these injuries are the result of accidents, while others are the result of someone else's carelessness or neglect. These include unsafe boating, going too fast, operating while distracted, inadequate maintenance, and boating while intoxicated.

A boating accident frequently results in property damage or more serious bodily injury as a result of another's irresponsibility. There have been numerous deaths and catastrophic injuries, including brain trauma, amputations, and slip and falls on or off a boat.

If you have been injured at the fault of someone else, you deserve to be fairly compensated. You should not be forced to pay for your medical bills when someone else is the cause of your injury. Most times the money will come from an insurance company who has the means to pay for the damages.


If you are unsure about filing a lawsuit, talk to a personal injury lawyer in your local area who handles boating accidents. A good lawyer will help ease your anxiety by listening to your account of what happened, explaining to you your legal rights, telling you what range of compensation you can expect from a lawsuit, and answering any questions you may have.

What are the benefits of hiring a local boating accident lawyer?

Hiring a local boating accident lawyer has a number of advantages including being conveniently accessible to clients and having established contacts in Palm Beach County.

Your lawyer will use witnesses to back up your statements when building a case for your personal injury claim. These witnesses could include persons who witnessed the incident that resulted in your injuries. They could also be expert witnesses, such as doctors who have worked on your case or experts who are familiar with the area's waterways. A local personal injury lawyer will be more familiar with the location, making it easier to locate these witnesses. Witnesses may also be more forthcoming with a well-known local attorney than with someone they've never heard of, providing the local attorney a significant advantage.

Do boating accidents include cruise ships?

Yes. Recreational boating off the coast in Palm Beach County is not the only source of injuries. On cruise ships, individuals are frequently harmed during what is supposed to be a joyful holiday. Many visitors come to South Florida to go on one of these cruises for a long vacation. Unfortunately, many individuals get harmed on these cruise ships, and the cruise industry goes to great lengths to conceal this information from the general public. These injuries may be caused by the cruise line's or its workers' negligence.
