Types of Damages in a Boat Accident
Types of Damages in a Boat Accident
Depending on the severity of the collision, a boating accident can result in thousands of dollars in property damages. It could also result in serious passenger injuries, as well as traumas to swimmers or divers nearby. Accidental drowning can occur as a result of a boating accident, especially when head traumas in the crash render a person unconscious in the water. Some boating injuries in Fort Lauderdale have even resulted in death.
The amount your boating accident case could be worth depends on the severity and types of damages. The Fort Lauderdale courts can grant boat injury victims compensation for past and future medical costs, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and all costs relating to a loved one’s death in the event of fatal wounds. The at-fault boater likely has insurance that will cover your damages. Fort Lauderdale’s “no-fault” laws apply in boating accidents as in car crashes – victims would first seek compensation through their own insurers, and then go to the other boater’s insurer for additional coverage.

Mr.Chalik was extremely responsive and professional. His office kept us well informed as things progressed. He showed true concern about the status of my wife’s recovery from her injury. I highly recommend his firm and feel very comfortable in suggesting them when asked for recommendations.
