A lot of people don’t know this, but catamarans have been in existence for thousands of years, and it’s only in the last 100 years or so have these boats been used for pleasure and not functional purposes. A day out in the ocean on a catamaran is not only fun, but relaxing and can be used by couples or whole families that want to escape the busy and crowded mainland in places like Florida, Hawaii or even the California peninsula. Catamarans, however, can injure many individuals at once, creating catastrophic accidents that can have far-reaching consequences in a person’s life. Because these are mostly pleasure-boats, it’s not uncommon for them to be manned by individuals that don’t have the prerequisite experience as well as certification to operate these boats, making it more likely for an accident to happen. If you were injured while on a catamaran, you have every right to file a lawsuit in order to recover money damages and get some form of closure, and we’re here to help with that.

Are you looking for a boating accident attorney? Call our maritime injury lawyers at (773) 825-3547 TODAY to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation. The boating injury lawyers at McCready Law bring their 90 YEARS of combined legal experience to the table helping individuals just like you so they and you can get the justice and compensation you are badly owed. McCready Law is a maritime injury law firm with a difference: not only is our staff bilingual (hablamos Espanol), we also litigate cases as needed when we feel that the compensation or settlement offer fronted by the insurance company or defendant’s counsel is insufficient in relation to your injuries; something that most law firms do not do, opting to instead negotiate with the insurance company adjuster for paltry amounts. In addition, we keep clients up to date on the progress of their boating injury cases on a regular basis, so that they are assured of the progress of the case with each stage. Lastly, but not least is the fact that we take on all cases on contingency fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES when we take on your claim, and it stays this way until we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf. Regardless of where you are, we can help you with your catamaran accident lawsuit: simply call us NOW at (773) 825-3547 to learn more: the call is 100% FREE.

Here are some of the risks associated with catamaran sailing:

1. Due to the long pylons and other structures, catamarans are prone to lighting strikes
2. Catamarans are not stable vessels, so should the captain ignore weather warnings and get caught in a storm, the catamaran is more likely to capsize.
3. Given the massive beam of a catamaran, safe docking is usually difficult, and repairing the vessel can prove challenging, meaning that catamaran operators may not follow repair, docking and maintenance protocols on a regular basis

Some of the individuals that may be held responsible for catamaran accidents include:

• The boat owner
• The captain
• The boating company
• The catamaran parts manufacturer
• Boat lessee
• In some instances, the county government

Some of the most common types of catamaran accident injuries include:

• Burns
• Broken bones
• Brain injury
• Amputation
• Coma
• Internal injury
