Boating and recreational activities should be enjoyable, not dangerous. When negligence, poor judgment, or unsafe conditions turn a day on the water into a serious injury, the consequences can be life changing.

We represent individuals injured in boating and recreational accidents involving:

• Operator negligence or inexperience

• Speeding, intoxication, or reckless operation

• Collisions between boats or with fixed objects

• Defective equipment or mechanical failures

• Rental boat and charter vessel accidents

• Jet ski and personal watercraft injuries

• Swimming, diving, and dock-related incidents

A Unique Area of Law

Maritime and boating injury cases are governed by a body of law with deep historical roots. Maritime law developed centuries ago to regulate conduct on navigable waters, long before modern traffic laws existed. Many of its principles were designed to promote safety, accountability, and uniform rules across ports and waterways.

Because of this history, boating accidents can involve legal rules that differ significantly from ordinary personal injury cases. Issues such as jurisdiction, applicable law, and available damages often depend on where the accident occurred and the type of vessel involved.

Our Approach

We understand both the modern realities of recreational boating and the unique legal framework that governs these cases. Our goal is to identify responsibility clearly, explain your options in plain language, and pursue accountability efficiently and effectively.

If you were injured on the water, you deserve informed guidance and straightforward advocacy.
