Boating and personal watercraft accidents account for some of the most serious and traumatic personal injury cases. All too often, recreational boaters and innocent passengers fall victim to the negligence and recklessness of boaters who put the safety of others in jeopardy. At LMK Legal, our skilled Miami boating accident lawyers are dedicated to helping victims of these accidents pursue justice and fair compensation.
When a person suffers serious bodily injury in a boating accident, cruise ship accident, or shore excursion accident, state law permits the victim and their affected loved ones to pursue a personal injury claim against the negligent party who caused their injuries, as well as the insurance company covering the boat owner, operator, or cruise line. Whether the accident occurred on the water, during a shore excursion, or aboard a cruise ship, victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries under Florida law.
In Florida, including Miami, the driver or owner of a boat or other personal watercraft may be held liable for an accident, just as the driver or owner of a car is liable for an accident. If you are injured in a boating or watercraft accident in Miami, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party and their insurance company.
Boating accident cases can be complicated and difficult to pursue without legal expertise. It is in the best interests of accident victims to consult an experienced personal injury attorney before proceeding with a boating or maritime accident claim.
