Miami Boat Accident & Injury Attorney

People flock each year to Florida to join the locals in the enjoyment of recreational boating. However, a few of them will not return home or will return with serious catastrophic injuries that can be life-changing. Almost 1,000 people are killed each year on Florida’s waterways and close to 4,000 people are seriously injured. If you or a loved one has been the victim of such a tragedy, please contact a Miami boat accident lawyer at the Law Offices of Jubin Jay Sharifi, P.A. immediately.

Many boating accidents occur due to boat or watercraft operator inexperience or error, BUI (boating under the influence), poorly marked water ways, or other serious issues. All of these can lead the way to severe boat crashes and tragedy for those involved. Those who do survive on most accounts will often sustain catastrophic injuries that may include: brain damage, head trauma, broken bones, loss of limbs, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and coma. Those who don’t survive may drown or succumb to their injuries.

Under Florida state law, maritime law and admiralty law, those behind the wheel of a boat must take several precautions to insure the safety of others on all waterways. When a boater's act(s) of negligence and/or recklessness result in wrongdoing, they can then be held accountable for their actions. This being said, a victim or victim’s family member may have the legal right to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim in effort to be awarded monetary compensation for their loss.
