Boating Accident Attorney in Myrtle Beach

Several key elements must be pieced together for your boat accident claim to hold water. To begin with, there needs to be proof of negligence. 

Next, there must be a direct causal link between this negligence and the accident. What this means is that the accident occurred because an individual or an entity dropped the ball on your safety. 

Lastly, the accident must have resulted in actual damages, whether physical injuries, property damage, or both.

You need evidence to win your case. While each claim is different, common evidence in boat accident cases include:

• Photos or videos of the accident scene and the damages incurred.
• Witness statements from passengers, other boaters, or bystanders. 
• The accident report filed with the authorities.
• Medical records that detail the injuries sustained and the treatment required.
• Maintenance records of the boat.

The different types of evidence highlighted above require powerful legal resources to gather. That’s why hiring a big injury law firm, like Morgan and Morgan, can be a game-changer. 

We have extensive resources to thoroughly investigate the accident, including access to experts in maritime law, accident reconstruction, and medical consultation. Our attorneys have also dealt with large insurance companies and secured over $20 billion for more than 500,000 families in America. That shows just how determined and results-oriented we are when it comes to fighting for the rights of the injured. 

A small law firm, on the other hand, will let the most important details of the case slip through the cracks mainly because they do not have the resources to sustain your case. Nine times out of ten, such law firms end up settling for less than their clients deserve.
