Boating Accident Claims, We Can Help!

Just like motor vehicles and trucks, personal watercraft (PWC) and boats can cause serious injury if they are not operated with care. The waterways in North Carolina offer the best locations for recreational boating, but they also can be a place where boating accidents occur. It’s unfortunate, but boating accidents are common occurrences on the lakes, river, ponds and oceans in eastern North Carolina, and they occur when individuals act carelessly, recklessly or negligently, putting themselves, their passengers and others on the water at harm’s way.

From an initial investigation to a verdict trial, the attorneys at Hardee, Massey & Blodgett have over 58 years of combined personal injury experience and have handled multiple boating accident cases.

When a boat accident is caused by the negligence of another, you may have a claim. Boating accidents can involve Jet Skis, speed boats and cabin cruisers. Common causes of recreational boat accidents include:

Boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Excessive speeding or speeding in no-wake zones
Reckless boating
Failure to follow state or maritime laws
Failure to keep a proper lookout
Inexperienced and/or underage boat operators
Defective boat, part or equipment design
Unsafe boating conditions

When a boating accident occurs, it can often result in a serious or catastrophic injury, possibly death. The reason for this is due to the high rate of speed they may be traveling and the comparative lack of safety restraints or gear, paired with the heightened risk of drowning, boating accidents can have very serious consequences.
