Common Causes of Boating Accidents
Most boating accidents have something to do with negligence. Examples of negligence in such accidents include:
- Distracted or inattentive operator
- Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Speeding or reckless operation
- Lack of proper lookout
- Equipment failure or poor maintenance
- Inexperienced operators
- Overloading the boat
- Navigation rule violations
Other times, accidents on the water can happen for unavoidable reasons, such as bad weather conditions. Even so, the injured might still be able to recover compensation with the help of our boating accident attorney. A good example is when the agency responsible for sending out weather alerts knew about the bad weather conditions but failed to warn boaters who later got involved in a boating accident.
Liability in Boating Accident Cases
Determining who is liable in a boating accident isn't as straightforward as it seems. Many different pieces must be put together in order to conclude that a particular party is responsible. That said, here are some parties that might be held responsible for such an accident:
- The boat operator
- The boat owner
- Passengers on the boat
- Manufacturers of boat equipment
- Rental companies
- Maintenance providers
- Other boat operators
- Dock or marina owners
- Government entities overseeing waterways
- Event organizers for boating activities
Damages in a Boating Accident Case
When you're involved in a boating accident, you might be able to recover damages. Note that these damages are not written in stone; they vary depending on the uniqueness of your case.
That said, potential damages in such cases can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. If we choose to represent you, our attorneys will consider all these aspects when seeking compensation to cover all your losses. This ensures that you receive what you deserve and nothing less.
