Boating / Cruise Ship Accidents and Maritime Law

Maritime and admiralty law govern both commercial and recreational boating. Like car accidents, boating and cruise ship accidents pose a serious risk of injury and death to those involved, in addition to causing significant property damage. Many boating accidents are the responsibility of negligent individuals who operate a watercraft while intoxicated, ignore safety equipment regulations, or drive recklessly, endangering others through their actions. A boating or cruise ship accident might also be linked to substandard maintenance work, poor quality construction, or other factors.

Boating, fishing, and diving are popular recreational activities in Florida. As a result, more boating accidents occur annually in Florida than in any other state in the U.S. These accidents lead to a variety of serious injuries, and sometimes to wrongful deaths as well.

Individuals who work on the water are also sometimes injured accidentally. Some commercial fishing and shipping operations fail to maintain safe working conditions onboard their craft, putting crewmembers at risk. A boating and cruise ship accident lawyer from our firm can help secure compensation for medical bills, time away from work, and other appropriate damages suffered by crewmembers who have been injured on the job because of unsafe conditions or the careless actions of another crewmember.

A boating accident lawyer well versed in maritime and admiralty law can help you recover appropriate financial compensation if you or your loved ones have been injured in a boating accident. Those involved in such an accident in the Fort Lauderdale-Miami area can expect a boating and cruise ship accident lawyer from Downs Brill Whitehead, The Law Firm, to represent their interests aggressively and effectively against negligent individuals responsible for their injuries.
