Boating Accidents
Much like drivers on the road, boaters on the water have an obligation to their fellow boaters. This obligation is to operate their own boats carefully to avoid putting others in danger. Unfortunately, some boaters fail to uphold this obligation.
Boating accidents may result in serious injuries or worse for the affected boaters. If you or someone you love suffered harm in a boating accident, contact the Atlanta personal injury lawyers of Webb, Wade & Taylor, LLC, at 770-631-1811 today.
Negligent Boating
The way an individual operates his or her boat may greatly increase his or her chances of causing a serious boating accident. A boating accident can include any collision between a boat and another boat, a swimmer, or a stationary object.
Negligent boat operation may include:
- Boating while intoxicated
- Speeding
- Boating too close to shore or to another object
Operating a boat under these conditions may put boaters at greater risk for harming other individuals in or near the water. Boating accidents may result in:
- Drowning or near-drowning
- Broken bones
- Head and brain injuries
Individuals who suffer harm because of reckless boaters may be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries. These individuals are encouraged to seek legal counsel from an experienced Atlanta boat accident lawyer to learn more about their legal rights.
