Do I Have a Good Case?

We have successfully represented clients in a wide range of cases:

• Boat accidents — We handle cases involving powerboat, sailboat, fishing boat, and personal watercraft collisions, and slip and falls or falls overboard caused by another's negligence. We investigate to establish reckless operation or disregard for safety regulations, including drunk boating (BWI). We also handle product liability cases against the boat's manufacturer for defects such as faulty engines, drain plugs, or safety cut-offs.
• Personal watercraft (PWC) liability — Jet Ski-type craft are popular with vacationers, and the rental facility or resort may be liable for failing to instruct inexperienced operators about their use and dangers. We examine the validity of liability waivers (for example, a minor cannot waive their rights) if you were driving, or the actions of other PWC riders who ran into you.
• Swimmers and divers — If you were struck by a boat while swimming or snorkeling, the operator is liable for their failure to keep a lookout or for driving too close, especially in designated swimming areas. We have experience in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, such as propeller injuries, traumatic brain injury, and drowning.

Contact an accomplished boat accident lawyer who understands the insurance and liability issues. It is often necessary to file a lawsuit in order to collect compensation. Owners are supposed to carry boat insurance — if they do not, Mr. Miller may be able to collect damages through their auto or homeowner policies, or through your own uninsured motorist policy. It is also important to get personal information from the negligent operator and witnesses before they leave the state — we can respond quickly.
