Who can I hold accountable for my boating injuries?
Every case is unique, and depending upon the facts of your case, you may receive financial compensation for your injuries from any of the following:
The boat or watercraft operator and/or their insurance carrier.
The boat or watercraft owner and/or their insurance carrier.
The manufacturer of the boat or watercraft if a defect caused the water accident.
What is a boating accident?
A boating accident constitutes an accident or wreck cause or involving a watercraft. A watercraft, or water-going vessel, includes ferries, ships, boats, jet skis, or any other personal watercraft. Collisions could cause a watercraft accident, high speed, overturn, sinking, being thrown from the vessel, and potential explosions or fires.
What are some common causes of a watercraft accident?
Speed: the drivers or operators of the watercraft may travel at excessive speed, causing the loss of control of the vessel.
Alcohol: drivers or operators of the watercraft may be under the influence of alcohol.
Inexperience: drivers or operators of the watercraft may be inexperienced in operating the watercraft or may not hold a valid license to use.
Manufacturer error: the watercraft may have a defect that causes the vessel to fail.
Weather: poor and dangerous weather.
How frequent are water injuries?
According to the American Boating Association, in 2019, 613 individuals lost their lives to boating accidents, and 2,559 individuals were significantly injured. Statistics likely increase in populous areas near water like lake towns or ocean-front cities.
More details about boating and water accident injury law
Boating and water injuries fall into two broad categories: (1) those governed by Kansas state laws of boating and waterways and (2) those governed by federal regulations. U.S. law states that injuries that occur on “navigable waterways” are subject to federal laws.
Navigable waterways are public structures and subject to the ebb and flow of tides, or used for interstate commercial transport. Kansas water laws govern all other types of water injuries.
Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm works with vetted Kansas water and boating lawyers to analyze your case and see how to obtain the best recovery for you. Sometimes we can make an argument to sue in state court, where the recovery may be better, and keep the case out of federal court. Experienced lawyers in these watercraft cases can help you determine the best plan of action to maximize your personal and financial recovery. No matter the circumstances of your boating or water accident injury, we have the experience necessary to advise your case successfully. Allied attorneys with Dr. Brad Bradshaw have been successful in many boating and water injury cases, including:
propeller injuries
jet ski injuries
boat launching injuries
boat storage injuries
boat collision injuries
power line over water injuries
fishing injuries
intoxicated boat captain cases
water electrocution injuries
A majority of boating injuries involve smaller watercraft, typically less than 21′ in length. However, Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm also advises more significant craft injury cases, including commercial boats. These cases may require a particular type of lawyer, mainly if the injury occurred on a navigable waterway. We can help you find the right “maritime lawyer” in such situations.
Further complicating these types of injuries is a federal law known as the Jones Act. This act applies to offshore injuries to workers. An attorney with thorough knowledge of the Jones Act and how it preempts state law is critical in these cases. Our number one goal at Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm is to find you a quality lawyer or team at the lowest reasonable fee to maximize your net recovery.
