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.

boating accident attorneys at Hudgins Law Firm have the
