3 Boat Accident Tips

Central Florida leads the nation in boat registrations. From our waterways, our bays, our sounds, our rivers, our lakes, central Florida is home to so many boat enthusiasts. If you have been injured in a boating accident, it’s critically important that you hire an attorney who’s experienced in that type of case. It’s the most critical decision you make in your case. An attorney who’s experienced in boat accidents will know the difference between filing a claim in state court or using admiralty federal court, where your incident happened is hugely important to determine the course of your case, but if you get off on the wrong foot by hiring an attorney who’s not experienced in boating accidents, your case could be irreparably damaged.

Recently, one of our clients who was involved in a boating accident told us about how the insurance company reached out to him the night of the accident. Now, fortunately, our client decided not to speak to that insurance adjustor and that was the proper thing to do. If you’re involved in a boating accident, you should never give a statement do any insurance company, at least not until you’ve spoken to an attorney. A lot of times, the insurance companies will attempt to elicit self-serving statements from you that will limit their liability and the necessity for them to pay for your damages. Likewise, if an attorney reaches out to you, you should never speak with an attorney regarding your case until you’ve had a chance to speak with your attorney. If you’ve been involved in a boating accident here in central Florida, it’s critically important that as soon as possible you contact us here at the Victory law firm to represent your interest against the insurance company.
