Boating Accidents
Our firm represents clients in Louisiana that have sustained a serious personal injury or lost a loved one because of a boating collision or some other kind of boating accident.
There are a number of factors that can lead to a boating accident—whether on a personal watercraft like a jet ski, a privately owned vessel, or a large ferry.
Some Causes of Boating Accidents:
- DWI (Driving while intoxicated)
- Driver inexperience
- Driver error
- Adverse water and/or weather conditions
- Equipment failure
- Improper docking
- Unsafe unloading or loading methods
- Not properly observing no-wake zones
- Negligent operation of a boat or other water vessel during water sports
By law, boat owners and boat operators have to exercise extreme care to ensure that passengers riding the boat, swimmers, and anyone else in the waters surrounding the boat, or anyone in other boats or on nearby piers do not get injured or killed due to a boating accident.
