Common Causes of Boating Accidents
Several factors contribute to boating accidents in Gainesville and throughout the nation. These include but are not limited to:
- Operator inexperience
- Alcohol use
- Excessive speed
- Failure to follow safety regulations
- Mechanical failures
- Poor weather conditions
- Overcrowded waterways
Types of Injuries in Boating Accidents
These accidents are known to cause serious injuries and even deaths, mostly due to drowning. Examples include broken bones, spinal cord injuries, organ damage, traumatic brain injuries, and hypothermia or shock.
Why You Need a Boating Accident Attorney
Proving liability in such a case is usually not as straightforward as it seems on paper. Instead, it often involves complex investigations, gathering evidence, and understanding maritime laws and how they apply to that specific case.
A skilled boating accident attorney can conduct thorough investigations, consult with experts in maritime laws and other related fields, and build a strong case on behalf of the victims. Also, they help protect your interests and prevent the other party from manipulating you into jeopardizing your case or settling for less than you deserve.
What Compensation Can You Receive?
Victims of boating accidents may be entitled to various types of compensation. The most common damages in such cases include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation costs
- Death and funeral expenses (if a loved one died in the accident)
