In Arizona, it is very popular to go boating to escape the heat. Because of this, boating accidents are more common than someone would think. These types of accidents can cause severe injuries and property damage.
If you or a loved one have been in a boat accident, it is important that you consult with a personal injury attorney. Our legal team works on a contingency fee. This means that you do not need to pay anything when you retain us unless we win your case. At that point, we would take a percentage of compensation as our attorney retainer fee. We offer free case evaluations to help you determine what your next steps need to be.
What Damages Are Available in Boat Accident Claims?
There are many different types of damages you or your loved one is eligible to recover in a boating accident. A boating accident falls under the purview of personal injury law which means the following forms of compensation can be recovered:
- Medical Expenses
- Lost Income
- Property Damage
- Pain & Suffering
- Punitive Damages
There is no limit on damages in personal injury claims, so it is possible for a boating accident claim to return a large amount of compensation for an injured person. If you or a loved one have been injured in a boating accident, contact our legal team to secure your free consultation.
What To Do After An Arizona Boat Accident
A boating accident can be an overwhelming experience. The large vehicles of boats crashing into each other can cause a lot of damage and severe injuries. Below are some of the steps that should be taken once a boating accident has occurred:
- Check For Injuries: Once a boating accident occurs, it is important to check everyone involved for injuries. You want to make sure you have everyone accounted for and to know who is in pain and may need medical attention. You will also need a phone or some way to call for help in case the vessels involved cannot get back to shore
- Seek Medical Attention: If you are in a boat accident, it is important to get yourself medical attention. It is very common for someone to be in a boating accident and then recognize a few days later that they are injured. Not getting yourself checked out immediately can result in more serious injuries. The doctors that treat you will also provide documentation of your injuries that will help you in your claim
