Boating Accident Lawyers Helping the Injured in Florida

On any given day, boats, canoes, kayaks, SeaDoos, sailboats, Jet Skis, cruise ships and other vessels skim across Florida’s more than 825 miles of beaches, 1,260 miles of coastline and 11,000 miles of rivers, streams and waterways. Though the majority of recreational boaters and maritime workers navigate the waters without incident, a disaster can occur suddenly and without notice. A boating accident attorney may be able to help you obtain compensation if you have experienced a maritime injury due to someone else’s negligence.

Maritime Injuries

There are many causes of boating accidents, including:

• Distracted drivers
• Speeding
• Mechanical fault
• Drivers operating watercrafts under the influence
• Operator inexperience
• Employer negligence

Boating accidents may result in severe maritime injuries, including accidental amputation, broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and even loss of life. These injuries may require hospitalization, surgeries, and long-term care. If you sustained injuries due to negligence, a personal injury attorney can fight for the compensation you deserve.

Maritime & Admiralty Law

In addition to boating accidents, Burnetti, P.A. represents clients in admiralty and maritime accidents, including Jones Act and injuries to longshoremen, dockworkers, fisherman and other maritime employees.
