We Can Handle Your Boating Accident Claim in South Florida

In Florida, there are over 950,000 registered water vessels, including personal watercraft. As a result, boat accidents are more inclined to happen. Unfortunately, boating can be a dangerous endeavor. In order to avoid accidents from occurring, we came up with a list of the”Top 7 Ways to Avoid a Boat Accident.”

1. Don’t Drink! Don’t Speed!
2. Keep the boat maintenance updated.
3. Don’t overload the boat with passengers.
4. Have a plan for emergencies.
5. Stay updated on the weather conditions.
6. Have working life jackets available.
7. Keep an ear on the emergency radio.

Also, injuries can result from rough waves, docking, capsizing or collisions between watercraft. Keep in mind, Broward County follows Miami Dade and Monroe Counties as the counties with the most reported boat accidents. If you sustain an injury while boating, you are not alone. If the cause of the injury was related to the fault of the operator, we can help you recover damages. In addition, as with the operation of a car, the operators have a duty to use reasonable care in the operation of the vessel, and if they fail to do so, they may be liable.
