Assess Your Injuries and Their Related Costs
Statistics from the U.S. Coast Guard show that in the aftermath of a boating accident, you and anyone on the boat with you can sustain significant injuries. The injuries you sustain can lead to extensive medical treatments that come with a hefty price tag. A boating accident lawyer can use your medical records to determine the cost of emergency, follow-up, and long-term medical treatments.
The at-fault party can also be held responsible for the income you lost if you could not return to work for any period of time after the boating accident. Additional expenses you could collect compensation for include physical disfigurement, long-term physical disabilities, and pain and suffering.
Contact the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine today at 1-800-747-3733 to learn how you can collect compensation for every financial expense and injury-related loss that stems from the boating accident you were involved in.
Determine the Type of Compensation Claim to File
If the boating accident you were involved in was caused by negligence, you have the foundation for a personal injury lawsuit. In a personal injury claim, you might have an insurance claim or lawsuit against one or more potential defendants:
- The boat’s owner
- The boat’s rental company
- The boat’s manufacturer
- Another passenger aboard the boat
If a loved one was killed in the boating accident, these same parties could be held accountable for your loss through a wrongful death claim. An Oviedo boating accident lawyer can help you determine the correct liable party and type of compensation claim.
Define Specific Time Limitations
The Statute of limitations in Florida generally limits the time to four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. You are also generally limited to two years for a wrongful death claim. Your lawyer can ensure you meet these important filing deadlines.
