Kissimmee Boating Accident Attorneys

Did you know that Florida has more boating accidents than any other state? Many of these boating accidents cause serious injury, or even death, and are completely avoidable if boaters follow basic safety precautions and boat in a safe and cautious manner. Failing to do so could mean that a boater is negligent and, if involved in a boating accident, can be held liable for any and all injuries and damages caused by negligent actions.

Negligent boating can include such actions as these:

• Operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol.
• Operating at a high and unsafe speed.
• Hitting a wave or wake at an unsafe angle.
• Failing to understand and follow basic navigational rules.
• Failing to maintain your boat and boating equipment.
• Operating an overcrowded boat.

If you or a loved one has been involved in an Osceola County boating accident caused by the negligence of another boater, you may be entitled to compensation to cover your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. However, a boating accident claim is never straightforward, as determining liability and understanding what type of compensation to which you are entitled are complex matters that involve a careful analysis of both the law and the available facts. For example, if you are an employee on a boat involved in a boating accident, you are entitled to a different compensation regime than someone who is a guest on a boat or who owns the boat. This is why it is essential that you discuss your boating accident claim with an experienced attorney like James O. Cunningham.
