Boating Accidents

Access to the ocean and water is one of the major benefits of living in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  However, the water is presents numerous dangers and boating accidents are a serious and often overlooked source of personal injury. In the United States, the U.S. Coast Guard reported 4,291 recreational boating accidents in 2019, resulting in 2,559 injuries and 613 deaths. Even with advanced safety measures, boaters can still find themselves involved in an accident that causes serious personal injury.

The most important step to take after a boating accident is to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even minor injuries should be evaluated by a medical professional in order to ensure that they are not more serious than they appear.   Once the medical needs of the injured party have been taken care of, it can be beneficial to contact a personal injury lawyer in order to discuss the details of the accident and  assist in filing claims for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

No one ever expects to be involved in a boating accident that results in serious personal injury. If you or a loved one have been injured in a boating accident, it is important to understand your legal rights. Contacting a boating accident lawyer can help to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve following a boating accident.
