    FAQs About Boating Accident Claims

    When should I contact a boating accident lawyer?

    The sooner you reach out, the better. Early involvement helps protect evidence, document injuries, and prevent insurance companies from shaping the narrative before you’ve had a chance to speak with someone on your side.

    What compensation can I recover after a boating accident?

    Most claims include medical costs, lost income, property damage, and the impact injuries have on your day-to-day life. The exact amount depends on the severity of your injuries and who is responsible for the crash.

    How long do I have to file a boating accident claim?

    Deadlines vary based on where the crash happened and whether state or federal rules apply. A boating accident lawyer will review the details and confirm the specific filing window for your situation.

    Do boating accidents fall under maritime law?

    Some do, especially if the crash happened on navigable waters or involved certain types of vessels. A boating accident attorney will explain which rules apply and how they affect your claim.
