— Attorney Arturo Dopazo III
From Key West to Miami Beach, boats and ships from ocean liners and commercial fishing boats to recreational craft, such as motor and sailing boats and personal watercraft (PWC or jet skis), crowd our coastline, bays and lakes. Unfortunately, enjoyment of the coastline can turn to tragedy. There are hundreds of boating accidents each year that cause injuries including:
- Damage to soft tissue, including back and neck injuries
- Hypothermia caused by lengthy exposure to cold water
- Head injuries from falls or forceful ejections
- Amputations caused by a boat propeller or other trauma
- Drowning when flotation devices were not provided
- Electrocution or burns caused by things such as on-board explosions
Most accidents happen when rules are not obeyed such as, boating under the influence of alcohol, operating a boat without a license, speeding or reckless boating during a regatta. If you have suffered personal injury due the negligence of a boat operator, you need a lawyer who can help you get fair and just compensation for your injuries.
