Talk to a Rhode Island Attorney After a Boating Accident
Wherever you were injured or your family member was killed in a boat-and-water or personal watercraft situation on a lake, pond, river or ocean water, you are encouraged to contact a personal injury lawyer promptly. The sooner a detailed investigation begins, the more likely it is that essential evidence can be preserved and used to your advantage in an injury claim.
Injuries and accidental deaths occur in a wide variety of situations involving bodies of water in Rhode Island:
- At ocean beaches or fresh water ponds, lakes or rivers
- Involving boats, water skiing, tubing, boogie boarding, knee boarding windsurfing or swimming
- Injuries to an owner of a boat, to an occupant of a boat, to a swimmer or skier or to an occupant of another watercraft
- At or near a marina or dock
- At a golf course with water features such as ponds with boats
If you were injured in a boat accident, you will compensation for medical bills, time off work and pain and suffering. A prompt investigation can help ensure the following:
- Identification and interviewing of eyewitnesses
- Discovery of all relevant sources of compensation such as boat liability insurance required by marinas, or homeowners insurance
- Discovery of key pieces of information such as drunk driving charges against the boater who collided with your boat or with a swimmer — and any potential dram shop liability issues
