Injured on the Water? Your Lawyer Must Know Maritime Law.
In south Florida, boating, water skiing and swimming are popular pastimes for residents and tourists.

Handling Serious Injury and Wrongful Death Claims
Boating accidents can result in severe injuries such as brain injuries and paralysis, broken bones and amputations, neck injuries and back injuries. Passengers who are thrown from the boat in a collision or who fall overboard are at risk for drowning, especially if they are not wearing life jackets.
Accidents involving boats and other recreational watercraft can happen because of issues such as:
- Capsizing
- Sinking
- Running aground
- Colliding with other watercraft
- Lack of safety equipment on board
- Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Children operating a watercraft
Whether you were the operator or a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation if another party's negligence caused your injury. We fight for our clients' rights to collect damages for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and related expenses.
