Causes of Boat Accidents
There are federal, state, and local regulations in place to ensure the safety and security of boat users and operators. When these regulations are disregarded, boat accidents may arise. In addition to being held liable for ignoring safety regulations, another party may be held accountable for:
- Providing faulty boating equipment
- Failing to hold a license while operating a boat
- Driving a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Lacking substantial experience to drive a boat
- Driving a boat while distracted
- Operating a boat in dangerous weather conditions.
Common Types of Boat Accidents & Injuries
There are a wide variety of boat accidents that may occur. The most widely seen types arise because a boat collided with another vessel or object, a passenger fell overboard, or the boat overturned and was left upside down or laying on its side.
Boating accidents often lead to various injuries that can have a great effect on a victim’s quality of life. Some of the most common boating accident injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic head injuries
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Lacerations and bruises
- Hypothermia
Legal Options for Victims of Boat Accidents
All too often, insurance companies take advantage of the victims of boat and ferry accidents. If you have been injured in a boating accident that was not your fault, you should speak to a skilled Jersey City boat accident attorney at Bhatt Law Group prior to having a conversation with an insurance adjuster. By doing so, you may be able to avoid low-ball settlements and obtain fair compensation that can pay for the following past and future losses:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
At Bhatt Law Group, we will work tirelessly to ensure that negligent boat drivers are held liable for the injuries they caused. We can assist with accidents that occurred on a ferry, recreational boat, or commercial boat. We’ll collaborate with investigators to examine your accident, analyze the accident scene, and pinpoint the exact cause. In addition, an attorney will quickly acquire witness accounts and photographs to help build a strong case on your behalf.
