Boat Accident Attorney in Houston

Boating accidents can lead to severe and even fatal consequences. When hiring an attorney, you need to make sure they are experienced and highly-trained. Here we've laid out a few of the cases our team has handled. 

• Boater Negligence: Actions that constitute boater negligence can include, but are not limited to:
  • Not having safety equipment on board
  • Speeding
  • Colliding with other boats or object(s) in the water
  • Overcrowding or loading the vessel past its capacity
• Boating Under the Influence: It’s illegal to operate a boat while intoxicated or under the influence of illegal substances. According to data collected by the U.S. Coast Guard, Texas was among the top five states for boating accidents involving alcohol use in 2019.
• Reckless Boating: It’s illegal in Texas to boat in a willfully or wantonly reckless manner. Examples may include hitting waves or wakes at extreme speeds and boating in restricted areas.

While every case we handle varies, what doesn't change is our ongoing passion to fight For The People. If you believe you or someone you know have been the victim of a boating accident due to one or more of the causes we've mentioned, you may be entitled to compensation.
