Recovering Damages through a Florida Boat Accident Lawsuit
To recover damages in a Florida boat accident case, you must prove the other boat operator’s negligence led to your injuries and other losses. Examples of negligence include operating a boat while intoxicated, operating a boat without the required safety certification, driving at dangerous speeds, driving too close to other vessels, and failing to watch out for skiers and swimmers. Our team at The Gray Law Firm, LLC knows how to establish negligence in these cases.
In the state of Florida, you only have two years from the date of the accident to bring a personal injury claim against another boat operator. If a loved one dies in a boating accident, you will have two years from the date of their passing to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
A Florida boat accident lawsuit can help you recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Physical pain and mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages
If you were partially responsible for the boat accident, you may still be able to recover compensation. The court will assign you a percentage of fault, and the total damage you can recover will be reduced by this amount. For example, if your damages total $100,000 and the court believes you are 25% at fault, you can still collect up to $75,000.
No matter your circumstances, our Orlando boat accident lawyer will fight to maximize your recovery. We understand you are going through a stressful time and will work to make the legal process as efficient and painless as possible.
