Florida Boating Accident Injury
Lawyer & Attorney

Are You a Victim of a
Boating Accident Injury in Florida ?


 

Florida is the only state in  the Union surrounded by water on three sides. So naturally, boating and other watercraft activities are a great pastime here. Whether you are enjoying time on a privately owned boat, riding a personal watercraft such as a jet ski, or taking a ferry to work you are at risk for serious boating injuries. Although boat operators and owners have a duty to exercise the highest degree of care in order to prevent injuries to others, injuries still frequently occur as the result of negligence or carelessness.

Some of the most common boat accidents are as follows:

  • Slip and fall due to a wet surface
  • Multiple boat collisions
  • Boat sinking or tipping
  • Boat fires
Many accidents which take place on watercrafts are the result of a reckless or inexperienced operator or some type of boat malfunction.

There are approximately 13 millions boats and watercrafts registered in the U.S., many of which should be equipped with Coast Guard approved safety devices, such as:
  • Personal floatation devices of varying sizes for adults and children
  • Sound producing devices, such as a horn, whistle, or bell
  • Working radio to make distress calls in the event of an emergency
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Visual distress signals such as lights or orange flags
  • Ventilation on gasoline powered boats

Florida Watercraft Accident Lawyers

There are hundreds of thousands of private boat owners in the U.S. Any injury that occurs on or with a boat is considered a boating accident. A boating accident can occur on someone's privately owned boat, a personal watercraft (jet ski), or even a ferry. It is a general rule of law that the operator of a boat and its owner have a duty to exercise the highest degree of care in order to prevent injuries to others.

The most common boating accidents are collisions with other boats, slip and falls on the boat, sinking, and boat disappearance. Boating injuries usually occur because of a reckless or careless operator, boat malfunction, or an inexperienced operator.

The skilled boating accident attorneys at Hudgins Law Firm have the experience and resources to properly handle lawsuits against the owners and operators of private boats, personal watercraft and commercial ferries.
