Do I Need a Boating Accident Attorney? Can I Get Compensation?
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
After a boating accident in Florida, victims often wonder if they truly need legal help or if they can handle claims on their own. The short answer? If negligence played a role, yes—you likely need an attorney, and compensation may be available. At Kaiser Romanello Accident and Injury Attorneys, we’ve recovered millions for clients injured on Florida’s waters. Give us a call at 844-877-8679 to discuss your options.
When Do You Need a Boating Accident Attorney?
Not every minor incident requires a lawyer, but consider hiring one if:
- You suffered injuries (e.g., from collisions, falls overboard, or propeller strikes).
- There’s significant property damage or lost income.
- The accident involved negligence, like boating under the influence (BUI), reckless operation, or equipment failure.
- Insurance companies are denying or lowballing your claim.
An attorney investigates causes, gathers evidence (like witness statements and accident reports), and handles complex laws, including federal maritime regulations that may apply alongside Florida statutes.
Can You Get Compensation?
Absolutely, if someone else’s negligence caused your harm. Under Florida’s personal injury laws (e.g., Statute 768.81), you can seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future).
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress.
- Property damage to your boat or gear.
- Wrongful death damages if a loved one was lost.
Florida follows comparative negligence, so even if you’re partially at fault, you can recover proportionally reduced damages. No-fault rules don’t apply to boating like they do to car accidents, so proving liability is key.
Legal Insights from Kaiser Romanello
In our practice, we’ve seen insurers undervalue claims without legal pushback. For example, if a rental boat company’s poor maintenance led to your accident, we can pursue them under premises liability. The statute of limitations is four years for injuries, but acting fast preserves evidence. We’ve helped clients get full compensation by negotiating settlements or litigating when needed—often without you paying upfront, as we work on contingency.
Don’t settle for less. Let Kaiser Romanello fight for the compensation you deserve.
