Boating Injuries

"We fight for justice..."

Experienced and compassionate, Van Riper & Nies trial attorneys are committed to protecting your rights.

Our maritime attorneys are boat owners themselves, and know Florida law and administrative regulations relating to safe boat operation, as well as the USCG’s Navigation Rules that govern boating and boating safety.

The chief causes of boating accidents we see are:

-         boat operator inattention and inexperience,

-         careless or reckless operation of a boat,

-         failure to keep a proper lookout,

-         operating the vessel at excessive speeds for the conditions,

-         drunk boating / boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol (BUI)

-         failure to properly seat passengers, and

-         failure to check the weather before heading out and during the voyage.

Among others, these negligent acts cause boats to capsize, collide or result in a fire. Boat captain carelessness may also result in skiers or divers being struck by props; passengers may fall overboard, or more commonly may be thrown from their seats, causing painful spine injuries, including compression fractures and herniated disks.  

A boat captain must exercise the highest degree of care to prevent injuries to his or her passengers, swimmers, or other boaters.  If hired, our maritime attorneys quickly explore this in great detail in every maritime injury case. In our experience a large number of injuries sustained on a boat are preventable. Our litigators will discuss your situation and go over all legal options available to you, as well as work with marine insurance companies, and other parties involved in your boating injury claim to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately and that you are compensated for your damages.
