Maritime Law is Different
Boating accidents aren't like car accidents. They fall under maritime law—a complex body of federal regulations with unique rules, shorter deadlines, and different liability standards.
Shorter Statute of Limitations
Maritime claims often have a 3-year deadline—and some Jones Act claims require notice within days. Don't wait to get legal help.
Jones Act Claims
Special protections for workers injured on commercial vessels.
Unseaworthiness Claims
Holding vessel owners accountable for unsafe conditions.
General Maritime Law
Federal protections for passengers and workers on navigable waters.
Common Causes of Boating Accidents
Most boating accidents result from negligence, lack of safety measures, or violations of boating laws. We investigate every angle to hold the responsible parties accountable:
Boating Under the Influence
BUI is a leading cause of fatal boating accidents in Florida.
Operator Negligence
Speeding, reckless operation, or failure to maintain proper lookout.
Mechanical Failures
Poorly maintained engines, steering systems, or safety equipment.
Inadequate Training
Operators without sufficient training to handle emergencies.
What You Should Do Next

Immediate care prevents complications and creates critical documentation for your claim.
