Boat Accident Attorney Cleveland

Many people in and around Cleveland take advantage of the warmer weather to get out on Lake Erie. We have plenty of people who love to go out on boats for recreation. There are also many people who make a living primarily on the water. However, we know that there are times when boats are not safe.

Our team will work diligently to secure the compensation you deserve for all of your crash-related expenses. When you need a Cleveland boat accident attorney, call us today.

How These Accidents Happen?

We often only hear about boating crashes when a major accident occurs, one with multiple casualties. However, boat crashes are much more common than we think. We have plenty of boating activity around here and, unfortunately, that means we see a fair share of boat crash injuries and even deaths. Boating crashes can be devastating. It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries in the aftermath of a crash:

  • Spinal cord injuries (with possible paralysis)
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Internal organ damage/internal bleeding
  • Broken or dislocated bones
  • Severe lacerations or amputations

How do these crashes happen?

Having Fun On The Water

Many people go out on the water for recreating, whether to fish, get in some water sports, or just relax in the sun. Recreational boating can be fun, but only if the boat’s owner and crew follow all proper safety precautions. This includes the following:

  • Ensuring that the boat is regularly inspected and maintained
  • The crew must follow all maritime laws
  • There should be enough life jackets for each person and training on their use
  • The crew needs to monitor weather conditions should never operate in adverse weather

Making A Living On The Water

Many people make a living primarily on the water. However, workers’ compensation laws for maritime employees are not the same as regular employees. If you have been injured while working on the water, you will likely have to use one of the following laws to recover compensation:

  • The Jones Act, which was created to ensure maritime workers are compensated for injuries they incur while performing their duties.
  • The Longshore Workers’ Compensation Act which provides a means of compensation for those disabled while working on the water.
