Boating Accident Injuries

People can sustain various injuries in different types of accidents:

Capsized boats. A person could end up suffering a brain injury in a near-drowning accident. These types of injuries lead to permanent disabilities and sometimes incapacity.
Fires. A fire on the boat might cause burns, smoke inhalation, and respiratory damage. Also, someone could jump off a burning boat and suffer a brain injury, especially if they can’t swim.
Collisions. A boat can crash into another vessel or run aground. Occupants often suffer serious injuries after being knocked around. They can break bones, suffer whiplash, or get a concussion when they slam into another passenger or strike parts of the boat. Other occupants are tossed overboard.

Unfortunately, some people might die in an accident. Often, they drown before help arrives to rescue them, but others might suffer a fatal head injury when they crash.

Can You Receive Compensation for a Boat Accident?

The critical issue is determining who is at fault. If you are 100% to blame, then you cannot receive compensation from anyone. People only pay compensation if they have some blame for the accident and your injuries.

Many accidents are caused by:

Negligent operation. The person helming the boat might not be paying attention. They could be distracted by conversations, food, cell phones, or any number of things. Other people are not familiar with how to pilot a boat, so they crash due to a lack of skill.
Reckless operation. Some people pilot the boat dangerously, going much too fast or getting too close to other vessels.
Intoxication. Some people enjoy throwing back some beers while out on a boat. Sadly, alcohol will impair their ability to see or manually pilot a boat. Alcohol can also lead to poor decisions.
Failure to maintain the boat. A mechanical issue or problem with the hull can lead to a boat accident. The boat’s owner could be liable, even if the owner was not operating the boat at the time.
Manufacturing defect. The boat could have a defective design or weakness in construction. The boat manufacturer could be liable for the accident and injuries.

You should hire Ty Robinson Law Firm soon after the accident. Ideally, we want to inspect the boat to determine if it was defective or had something else wrong with the design. We work closely with experts who know what to look for.
