Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about boat accident cases and legal procedures.

What should I do after a boating accident?

After a boat accident, it's important to seek medical attention, gather evidence, and consult with a personal injury lawyer. Boat accidents can be very dangerous. They often involve bad weather conditions, alcohol consumption or intoxicated drivers, and negligence. It's crucial to make sure all victims and passengers are accounted for and taken to safety.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by state. In Florida, there is a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. It's important to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you meet the deadline.

What compensation can I receive for my injuries?

The compensation you may receive for your injuries depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The better you can demonstrate and document damages, the better chance your lawsuit will have. A personal injury lawyer can help assess your case and determine the potential value of your claim.

How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?

The duration of a personal injury case can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and negotiations with insurance companies. Cases involving wrongful death and drowning or manufacturing defects may take longer than simpler personal injury or negligence claims. It's important to work with an experienced boating accident lawyer who can guide you through the process and help expedite the resolution.

Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury claim?

While it's possible to handle a personal injury claim on your own, having a boat accident lawyer can greatly increase your chances of receiving fair compensation. Cases involving boats, recreational watercrafts, and other vessels can be particularly complicated. Proving liability and demonstrating injuries from the accident require an experienced attorney. Depending on where the accident took place, it might be in state or federal waters. An experienced boating accident lawyer will know which laws apply and how best to proceed. A lawyer can navigate the legal complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for your rights.
