Boat Accident Lawyer

Our Boat Accident Lawyer represents injury victims of different water accidents involving boats, jet skis, and swimmers or riders. Routinely, our Galveston boat accident lawyer gets questions about the common causes for water accidents. Some of the most common causes we come across are inexperience, lack of knowledge about water navigation, distractions in and outside the watercraft and alcohol can lead to dangerous boat accidents in the gulf-coast and Galveston. A driver pulling a skier may fail to watch the skier and the boat’s direction.

Common Causes For A Boat Accident

 A Jet Ski, also known as a “sea doo” or “sea-doo” can travel a fast rate of speed and the driver may plow into a group of swimmers while looking in another direction. Catching a swimmer or skier in a boat’s propeller can be lethal. Boating while intoxicated is as dangerous as DWI on the road. Inexperience, inattention, alcohol cause a boat accident. Boats, ski boats, Jet Skis, Sea doo’s, and other watercraft offer opportunities for fun on the waters around Galveston, Clear Lake, Kemah, and the Texas Gulf coast. They can also lead to accidents with serious injuries from people operating boats or personal watercraft being negligence or may fail to properly navigate around others, or are not expecting water traffic causing the driver to be unable to respond within time. Talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer about your boat accident and injuries. Typical types boat accidents  include:
  • People falling or being ejected from the boat,
  • The boat capsizing or sinking,
  • Having the boat be flooded or swamping,
  • Boat fire or explosion,
  • Being hit by the boats propeller, steering, or propulsion unit,
  • Boat grounding,
  • Boat collision with another boat or object,
  • Water-skiing or  wake-boarding  injuries involving  tow-able  tubes,
  • Boat hitting a submerged object
  • Electrocution due to a stray current from the boat,
  • Boat casualty involving swimming or drowning.
