You Need a Boating Accident Lawyer to Ensure the Success of Your Case

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, there were 4,789 recreational boating accidents in the U.S. in 2008 (most recent data available). Those accidents involved 709 deaths, 3,331 injuries and about $54 million in property damage. The top five causes for these accidents were:

  • Careless/reckless operation
  • Operation inattention
  • No proper lookout
  • Operator inexperience
  • Passenger/skier behavior

 

Accident injury attorneys know that each of these causes can be considered negligent behavior and can be grounds for a lawsuit against those responsible for the accident. If you’re the victim of a boating accident injury and it can be shown that the person at fault for the accident was acting negligently or irresponsibly, you are entitled to monetary compensation for property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, permanent injury and pain and suffering for the damage and injury you suffered in the accident. In South Carolina, if the person at fault in the accident was not the owner of the boat, the boat owner can also be held liable for your costs, pain and suffering.
