Boating Accidents

In sunny Florida, the coastline and inland waterways provide the backdrop for many serious boating accidents. A boating accident is one that occurs on a boat or a ship. These accidents can occur as a result of the negligent or reckless driving of a boat or other aquatic vehicle.

Our firm handles all types of injuries and injury claims caused by accidents occurring on the Florida waterways. This includes:

  • Crew Injuries
  • Pleasure boats and yachts
  • Jet Skis
  • Waverunners
  • Fan boats
  • Jones Act
  • Pleasure & Dinner cruises
  • Fishing charters
  • Scuba and snorkeling charters
  • Cruise ships
  • Parasailing charters

If you are in a boating accident or are injured on a ship, it is important to report it to the police or coastal authorities immediately. The law requires you to report any accidents where the monetary damage to the vessel appears to be in excess of $500.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a boating accident, it is important to contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. These types of accidents are very complex and should be handled by a personal injury attorney with experience in admiralty litigation. Admiralty cases are governed by a special body of law. We will fight aggressively to achieve results, whether it means reaching a settlement agreement or taking your case to trial. Our attorneys have years of experience handling cases of this nature. We have achieved multi-million dollar recoveries for clients in boating related accidents. We have the skills and resources to get the compensation you deserve. Our firm also handles several other types of other admiralty and maritime litigation. Please visit our Admiralty and Maritime page for additional information.
