Boating Accidents
If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a boating accident due to someone else’s negligence, please contact the the Law Offices of Andrew M. Smith.
Our personal injury attorneys represent clients in the South Florida area in personal injury cases involving boating collisions and other kinds of boating accidents.
A number of factors can lead to a boating accident, whether on a ferry, a cruise ship, a private boat, a jet ski, or any other type of water vessel.
Some causes for boating accidents:
- Driver inexperience
- Driver error
- DWI (Driving while intoxicated)
- Unfavorable water and/or weather conditions
- Equipment failure
It is a general rule of law that the owner of a boat and its operator must exercise the utmost level of caution to prevent injuries from occurring to swimmers, passengers in the boat, or anyone else who may be in the surrounding area. Our personal injury lawyers can sit down with you and explore the different remedies available to you. We will also meet with the other parties and the insurance companies that are involved to make sure that your medical needs are taken care of and covered.
