Common Causes Of Boating Accidents

The influence of alcohol can be a common reason for why boating accidents happen. Our boating accident attorney knows that when boat operators are intoxicated, they are more likely to cause a serious crash. Reckless boating behavior can jeopardize passengers in the boat and other watercraft in the surrounding waters. The boat driver may be responsible for any injuries the occupants sustained, along with those who suffered injury in other vessels. As our Akron boating accident lawyer offers, here are more examples of common contributing factors: 

  • Boating in restricted areas

  • Drug and alcohol impairment

  • Faulty safety equipment

  • Negligent vessel operation

  • Hitting a large wake or wave at unsafe speed/angle

  • Contact with propellers

  • Boat ejection from recklessness or heavy weather

  • Accelerating at high speeds

  • Failing to lookout while tubing or skiing

  • Not knowing navigational rules

  • Overcrowding or overloading

  • Defective repairs or boat construction

  • Collisions with other watercraft

  • Hitting an object or ground

How We Can Help You Get Compensation

We can investigate the boating accident further to assess the best route for getting compensation on your behalf. We may search for the history of the vessel and similar accidents in that same area. Our boating accident attorney can review the driving history and operator credentials. If there were people with you who saw the accident happen, we can interview these witnesses to help with your case. When speaking with insurance companies, we can negotiate for maximum payment back to you for any losses incurred. If needed, our boating accident attorney can take your case to trial in front of a jury and get you prepared for court.

They see claims as liabilities, and initially deny, defend, and delay a claim to limit that liability and save money for the company. Ultimately, it is the job of the attorneys at Joseph Law Group to advocate on behalf of our clients and to give the insurance companies and adjusters enough reason to pay an amount of money that is fair under all circumstances.
