Boating accidents happen every year on lakes, rivers, and open waters—often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Whether due to negligence, mechanical failure, or weather conditions, victims of boating accidents deserve to understand their legal rights and pursue the compensation they’re entitled to. The Law Office of Eric E. Partovi is here to help.
What to Do After a Boating Accident
- Move to a safe area to avoid fuel leaks or further collisions.
- Report the accident to the appropriate authorities. A police or coast guard report provides essential documentation.
- Document the scene—take photos of the boat, injuries, weather conditions, and surroundings.
- Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Some symptoms may appear hours or days later.
Who Is Liable for a Boating Accident?
Determining who is responsible for a boating accident is key to pursuing compensation. Liable parties may include:
- Boat operators who acted recklessly, operated under the influence, or ignored safety rules
- Boat manufacturers for equipment failure or design defects
- Marina operators or maintenance providers if poor upkeep played a role
- Boat owners who failed to follow safety guidelines during poor weather conditions
The Law Office of Eric E. Partovi will investigate the cause of your accident to hold the right party accountable.
