Boating Accidents

Boat Accident Attorneys

Since Florida is surrounded by water, people are constantly using the state’s waterways for boating and fishing. Unfortunately, more people on the water typically means more boating accidents. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, in 2014 365 Floridians were injured and 51 were killed in boating accidents.

At the Malhotra Law Firm, we have boat accident attorneys who can help you if you were injured in a boating accident that wasn’t your fault.

GET COMPENSATION FOR YOUR BOAT ACCIDENT INJURIES

Boat accidents can refer to a number of incidences and usually occur because of:

• Inexperienced operation
  Many of the people operating watercraft on Florida’s waterways do not have proper training or adequate experience operating their vehicles.
• Operator inattention
  A day out on the water is a fun way to relax and relieve stress. But countless distractions mean some vehicle operators may not be paying attention to other vehicles, channel markers, and other safety concerns .
• Boating while intoxicated
  Drugs, alcohol, and other substances can impair operator’s judgement and reaction times, creating dangerous circumstances where accidents are likely to occur.

If you were injured by the propeller of a boat, were struck by a boat while using a recreational watercraft, or were on a boat that capsized or collided with another vessel, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. If you believe that you may have grounds for a boat accident claim, our boat accident attorney from our firm can come to meet with you at the hospital or in your home and will be able to answer your questions and help you determine how much your claim may be worth. WE’RE HERE TO HELP.
