Boating Accident Lawyer Boat accidents can be terrifying. When you’re out on the open water, things can take a traumatic turn. It is not uncommon for victims to struggle with severe mental anguish and emotional distress after an accident, in addition to painful physical ones, as well. Whoever is responsible for causing your boat accident must be held fully accountable for the harm and suffering they have caused. At-fault parties and their insurance companies will not just write you a check willingly, though. You will have to demand the money you need and deserve. Hiring a personal injury lawyer can level the playing field and give you some time to recover. Steve L. Kaplan and the law team at Kaplan & Kaplan P.C. have seen just how much of an impact these traumatic accidents can have on victims and their families. We have also seen how important a financial recovery can be in the days, weeks, months, and years that follow. That is why we roll up our sleeves and fight tirelessly to get our clients the money they deserve. When you call us for assistance after your New York Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island boat accident, you can expect us to immediately contact enforcement agencies and have our investigators make sure we’re able to gather all relevant evidence.
CAUSES OF BOATING INJURIES AND DEATHS
Although some boating accidents are just that – accidents – others are the result of another person’s carelessness or negligence. People may be held liable for accidents caused by:
- Drunk boating
- Operating a boat too fast
- Reckless operation
There can be other reasons for collisions between boats and other objects, including:
- Poor lighting on boats or on buildings and other objects
- Lack of warning signs or incorrect warning signs
- Debris in waterways
