Victim's Rights When Injured in a Florida Boating Accident 

If you know Florida, then you know boaters. There are more than one million registered vessels in Florida, many of them operated by owners living in or visiting the waterways and shores of the Treasure Coast. No wonder, Florida is the top spot nationally for boating. Unfortunately, the consequence of this much boating activity means the number of injurious and fatal boating accidents continues to climb. If you have been involved in a boating accident and suffered injury or even have suffered financially, you may be due compensation.

The Attorneys at The Lewis Law Group, P.A. have more than 45 years of experience in working with victims of boating accidents, handling property damage, personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits stemming from the many waterway accidents in Florida.

Boating collisions can be expensive due to the material damage involved. There can be other damage concerning docks, property and protected wildlife. In the worst of cases, we unfortunately see boat collisions in Florida that result in injuries and even loss of life. Other expenses suffered by victims are costs, related to: emergency response services, medical expenses, wage losses and ongoing treatment. Boating accident victims can, in many cases, be compensated for pain and suffering, as well as court costs. In the event of a fatality, a civil wrongful death case may be appropriate to ensure the ongoing rights of the victim’s family.

What Kind of Boat Accidents Can Win a Settlement?

The Lewis Law Group, P.A. can help you whether your loss involves airboat accidents, boat tenders accidents, BUI accidents, boat maintenance-caused accidents, jet ski accidents, wakeboarding accidents, waterskiing accidents, kayak or canoe accidents, inflatable boat accidents or other personal or rented watercraft accidents. Liability for a boating accident can be present at many levels. Boat drivers, operators, crew, boat owners, rental operators and many other individuals and companies involved in the boating industry own a strictly defined obligation to keep their renters, passengers and other boat owners safe from harm. In many cases, like with auto accidents, inexperience, lack of attention, careless operation, poor maintenance, failure to yield, speeding and of course drug and alcohol-impaired driving can cause an accident. Boating accidents are very complex. The path to settlement is unique. Let us help you define the elements of your case that will assist you in gaining your maximum compensation.
