PERSONLA WATERCRAFT IINJURIES
Fishing Boat Accident and Pleasure Craft Injury Attorneys
While accidents involving commercial craft and federal vessels are governed by US maritime laws, personal watercraft accidents may be issues of state law or federal law depending on the circumstances. At Lewis, Kullman, Sterbcow & Abramson, our experienced lawyers have a thorough understanding of personal injury and wrongful death situations that occur on or near navigable waters. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your particular case.
Personal watercraft, including Jet-Skis, motor boats, yachts, Waverunners, Seadoos, sail boats, and recreational fishing boats are a common sight on most navigable waterways. An injury that occurs in a fishing boat accident or other pleasure craft accident may involve a complex analysis to determine the proper amount of compensation. The status of the injured person, the nature of the accident, and the location of the accident are just a few factors that may significantly affect the best way to proceed in a case.
Many accidents on the water are caused by operator error. Whether the operator was inexperienced, intoxicated, or reckless, the fact remains that an injured person should be compensated for the harm done to them. Establishing liability and developing a clear understanding of the impact and extent of the injury are vital steps in resolving these cases. You need a professional, dedicated, and ethical attorney to give you your best chance at a full recovery.
In addition to injuries on personal watercraft, our attorneys handle injuries that occur on riverboats and gaming vessels such as casino boats. We handle virtually any injury that occurs on or near navigable waters in the US.
