ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI BOAT ACCIDENT LAWYERS
A boat accident can turn a carefree day on the lake into a lifetime of medical expenses. If you’ve been injured in a boat accident in Missouri or Southern Illinois, you may be facing hospital bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
3 Common Causes of Boating Accidents
Boating accidents are often caused by operators who are:
- Distracted
Serious accidents can happen when cellphones and passengers take operators’ focus away from the water and reduce their reaction times to changing conditions. - Inexperienced
Just like other motor vehicles, safe boating requires practice, familiarity with controls, and knowledge of safety regulations. Lack of experience on the water can turn avoidable situations into serious accidents. - Intoxicated
Boating is a great way to have fun on the water. But when the excitement includes alcohol or drugs, boaters can make mistakes that cause serious accidents.
Our boat accident lawyers will investigate your claim in order to hold the responsible person accountable for your injuries and accident-related damages.
