    Who Can File a Boating Accident Claim?

    Anyone injured in the accident, whether passengers, swimmers, or other boaters, can file a claim. If a loved one tragically died in the accident, their family members can pursue a wrongful death claim.

    Additionally, boat owners can file a claim for property damage if their vessel was damaged due to someone else's negligence. Even bystanders who suffer injuries as a result of the accident, like those injured on a dock, at the beach, or nearby vessel, all have a right to take legal action. The bottom line is that as long you or a loved one has been involved in a boating accident and suffered serious injuries, you or your loved ones can file a claim.
