Victims of both car and boating accidents often suffer severe injuries caused by the negligence of others and may be entitled to compensation if they can demonstrate how another person’s lack of responsibility caused their injuries.

Often, boating and car accident cases can be different and victims need to understand what makes their case unique. Work with an accident lawyer experienced in representing victims of BOTH.

Car accident cases are handled under state personal injury laws. Boating accidents may involve Florida laws or federal maritime laws, or both. These laws can apply to injuries occurring in interstate navigable waters, so any boating accident on a body of water, not landlocked within a single state could potentially be covered by maritime laws.

Is this confusing? Absolutely.

Maritime laws can affect a victim’s ability to recover compensation., It is a good idea if injured in a boating accident to consult an attorney who understands how to argue for and against the application of maritime law.

Boating accident victims should consult a lawyer who knows how to succeed in both!.
