Types of Recreational Boating Injury Claims We Handle
Jet Ski and Personal Watercraft Accidents
Jet skis are fast, fun and dangerous in the wrong hands. If you were injured in a jet ski collision due to speeding, inexperience, or another rider’s carelessness, we can help you pursue compensation for your injuries.
Small Boat Collisions
Collisions between fishing boats, pontoons, and other small watercraft often lead to serious injuries. Our attorneys handle claims involving boater negligence, poor visibility, and unsafe operation.
Intoxicated or Impaired Boat Operators
Operating a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal and dangerous. We hold drunk boaters and their insurance providers responsible when their actions cause harm.
Dock and Marina Injuries
Slippery surfaces, defective docks, and lack of proper lighting or railings can cause falls and traumatic injuries. Property owners and marina operators may be liable for failing to maintain a safe environment.
Boat Rental Company Negligence
When rental companies fail to inspect equipment, train users, or enforce safety policies, accidents happen. We help clients pursue claims against negligent boat or jet ski rental businesses.
Unsafe Watercraft Conditions
Faulty steering, mechanical defects, and poor maintenance often contribute to watercraft-related injuries. We work with experts to investigate product defects or maintenance failures in your case.

Who is liable in a boating accident?
Liability can fall on the boat operator, the rental company, the dock owner, or even a government agency depending on the circumstances. We investigate every angle to identify all liable parties.
