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.  ‍
