Accidents Suffered by Passengers on Boats
Responsibility for the safety of anyone on board a sailboat or motorboat used for fishing or just recreation lies with the boat’s captain or operator. Serious injuries sometimes result from boating activities. For example, boaters may suffer serious injuries or death when they fall overboard after the boat collides with another boat, a pier, a bridge or other objects.

Wave runners or Jet Skis
Jet Skis, also known as Wave Runners are fast and fun. They are also dangerous to operate: there are no brakes…The attorneys at Greenberg & Stone, P.A. have represented numerous clients injured while operating or riding on this kind of equipment including cases were people have been thrown off the jet ski, collided with other boats, have had their own jet ski land on top of them or have been run over by jet ski operators while swimming.

Diving and Swimming Accidents
Scuba divers and swimmers are at great peril in crowded waters. Life-threatening injuries and drowning deaths often result when they are struck by boat propellers or run over by watercrafts. Dive flags on the surface are always recommended to alert boaters, but unfortunately these precautions do not always prevent tragic injuries.

Drunk Boating Accidents
If the operator of a boat was intoxicated at the time of a collision or watercraft accident, that person is liable for injuries caused by their gross negligence. In seeking maximum compensation for your losses, our South Florida boat accident attorneys will aid prosecutors in holding the drunk boater accountable for criminal charges.

Slipping of Falling on a Boat or Dock
A person can also have a slip and fall accident while on a boat or on a pier. Victims of this kind of accidents may have a case against not only the owners of the boat or the dock, but also against their insurance companies. There are multiple causes for these accidents, from slippery surfaces to rotting planks.

Compensation in Boating Accidents
Our South Florida boat accident attorneys are highly knowledgeable about Florida boating laws, maritime law in international waters, and personal injury litigation relating to inland and seafaring vessels. Victims can recover for medical expenses (including future care required), lost income and future earnings, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment if the injury is permanent and disabling. We also handle wrongful death claims.
