BOATING ACCIDENTS
|
Any injury that occurs on or with a boat, ship, ferry or personal watercraft (jet ski) is
considered a boating accident. Common types of boating accidents include collision, flooding or sinking,
capsizing, falls overboard, fire, explosion and disappearance of a person or crew member.
Whether it is recreational boating, jet skiing, water skiing or other water sports, these activities,
while entertaining and exciting, pose unique dangers of personal injury and wrongful death and complex
legal and safety issues could be involved. Few people are aware of these intricacies of law related
to boating.
If you have been injured in a boating accident, you may need a boating accident personal injury lawyer.
Contact Mayer B. Gordon & Associates today to discuss your boat accident case. We are experienced in
handling complex lawsuits involving injuries sustained in boating accidents.
Here is a list of few points regarding what the law requires you to do in case of a boating accident:
An operator involved in a boating accident must stop his or her vessel immediately at the scene of the
accident and assist anyone injured or in danger from the accident, unless doing so would seriously
endanger his or her own vessel or passengers.
The operator of a vessel involved in a boating accident or the owner of the vessel reporting
for the operator must complete and submit a written boating accident report within 48 hours if:
- A person dies or disappears from the vessel under circumstances that indicate death or injury.
- A person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid.
- There is significant damage caused to the vessel(s).
The boating accident report must be submitted to the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction where
the accident occurred.
If you have had a boating accident, you may need to speak to a boating accident lawyer to determine
your rights. We, at Mayer B. Gordon & Associates, are dedicated to assisting you to evaluate your case
and fight for your rights. The chances of successfully settling a claim for a fair amount to the plaintiff
are extremely low if your attorney has little or no experience in admiralty and maritime matters. We not
only want to take care of your legal needs quickly but also correctly. |
