While many local residents as well as tourists love to boat and have fun in our beautiful Tampa waters, every year people are injured and killed in devastating watercraft accidents.
Watercraft accidents are often caused by driver inexperience that leads to negligent driving: speeding, right of way violations, and the failure to notice obstructions and other vessels can lead to serious watercraft injuries. Drunk boating can also be a factor in serious watercraft accidents, especially during the summer holidays.
Accidents occurring on watercrafts often present legal theories which involve traditional negligence and duty to warn/maintain issues. The nature of Florida as a peninsula makes these types of cases more common. Florida ranks #1 among the top 10 states with the most reported boating accidents based on information from the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Division.
An experienced attorney will protect clients injured by or on a boat by timely gathering documents pertaining to the liability of the owner and securing all of the medical documentation regarding the client’s injuries.
