What Should I Do Immediately After My Boating Accident
During any given year, there are close to 3000-4000 boating accidents across the country. A lot if not the majority of these accidents are preventable, and they can be pegged down to human negligence. Boating accidents can lead to loss of limbs, drowning or being thrown overboard, hypothermia, emotional trauma, broken bones, nerve damage, and lots of other injuries.
Boating operators are required to adhere to regulations that are enforced by the Coast Guard as well as the laws that are present in their state, all ostensibly done in order to keep everyone safe. Boating accidents do not happen in a vacuum – for the most part, human action or inaction causes just about all accidents.
Therefore, someone negligent was the proximate cause of your boating accident and subsequent injuries, and these individuals must be held accountable for their negligent conduct so you’re able to be made whole again, and this can only happen if you file a boating accident lawsuit, and we’re here to help with that.

What To Do After a Boat Incident?
Here are some of the things you must do immediately after your boating injury:
- Seek medical attention: If you have cell phone service, ask that EMS be sent to the shore or on the boat, so your medical needs can be assured. Even if you feel fine, don’t skip this step as you may have suffered invisible, internal injuries that will become a problem later on.
- Make sure to preserve any evidence at the scene of the accident, and you can do this by taking photos as well as keeping bits of broken material safely in a Ziploc bag.
- Call an attorney and refuse to speak with the insurance company before you do this, so that your right to litigation is protected.
