Oklahoma City Boating Accident Lawyer

If you were injured in a boating accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the injuries you have experienced. The driver of the boat you were in may have been inexperienced, under the influence of alcohol or drugs or simply inattentive and caused a collision, or perhaps it was another boat operator's fault. Regardless of the cause, an experienced attorney can work to investigate the particular circumstances of your case to determine who should be held accountable. With proper legal representation, you may be able to recover money for medical expenses, future medical care, lost earnings and various other post-accident expenses. It is important to get started immediately by consulting with a lawyer about your particular case and options in moving forward with a personal injury lawyer.

At the Law Offices of Stipe and Belote we represent clients throughout the Oklahoma City area who are dealing with the aftermath of boating accidents. In addition to handling drowning and near drowning incidents, we also handle boat accident claims that involve falls on deck, boat collisions, Jet Ski accidents, and much more.

Causes of Boat Accidents

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the most common causes of boating accidents in 2008 were: careless or reckless operation, operator inattention, driving without a proper lookout, operator inexperience and passenger or skier behavior. Most boat accidents could have been easily avoided had a boat driver exercised proper caution or care while out on the water. If negligence or recklessness was the cause of your injuries, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim against the responsible party. We recommend that you talk to an attorney about your particular case to see what you can do to seek justice.
