Boating Accident Lawyers in Oklahoma City

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the most common causes of boating accidents are:

• Careless or reckless operation
• Operator inattention
• Driving without a proper lookout
• Operator inexperience
• Navigational rules violations
• Excessive speed
• Machinery failure
• Alcohol use
• Onboard slip and fall accidents
• Weather
• Hazardous waters

Most boating accidents could have been avoided if the boat’s operator exercised proper caution and care while on the water.

Regardless of the cause, an experienced personal injury attorney can work to investigate the particular circumstances of your case and determine who should be liable for your injuries. With proper legal representation, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and various other post-accident expenses.

If you were involved in a boating accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the injuries you sustained. The operator of the boat you were in may have been inexperienced, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or simply inattentive, resulting in a collision.
