What Are Your Options If You Are Injured By A Water Craft?

There are numerous waterways in Alabama. They reach from the Tennessee Valley all the way to Mobile Bay and Orange Beach. What happens if you are injured by someone who negligently operates their water craft? Water crafts have liability insurance policies just like your motor vehicle.

Each holiday there are multiple reports of boating accidents. Many occur at night, but they also occur during the day. It was reported that two boats collided on Lake Martin over the July Fourth weekend. Multiple people were flown by helicopter to local hospitals with life threatening injuries. Authorities say that alcohol played a major role in the boating accident.

Accidents that occur on waterways can be very difficult to determine fault. There are rules that must be followed when driving a boat just like rules for motor vehicles. If you have been injured in a boating accident you should contact an attorney to help with your case. Pbk (205)912-8245
