Why You Need an Attorney After a Boating Accident

Charles McCorquodale • Oct 02, 2020

Being involved in any kind of accident can be extremely stressful, more so if it’s a boating accident. We’re fortunate to be surrounded by several beautiful bodies of water. Many of us spend our weekends on the Gulf of Mexico or at nearby lakes or rivers in Alabama. Some of our fondest memories include these moments on the water spent with family and friends. 

Unfortunately, there are moments where time spent out on the water comes with a cost. You can probably recall hearing about a boating accident that injured, or in worst case scenarios, took the life of someone on board. While maritime accidents aren’t as common as car accidents, they are just as frightening and often avoidable. More often than not, maritime accidents are caused by negligence or the lack of following safety precautions. 

The law firm of Charles McCorquodale can assist you or a loved one in the event that you are injured in a maritime accident.

Possible Causes of a Maritime Accident

Maritime accidents are most commonly the result of:

  • Poor lighting on boats or buildings
  • Debris in the water
  • Lack of warning signs
  • Incorrect warning signs 

However, there are other times when the accident is avoidable. In this case, maritime accidents are oftentimes the result of a driver’s carelessness or negligence if they are:

  • Drunk while operating the boat
  • Driving the boat too fast
  • Operating the boat recklessly
