Taking Action After A Boating Accident
The moments after a boating accident can be chaotic. Here are some crucial steps to take:
- Get medical attention: If anyone is injured, seek medical attention immediately.
- Exchange information: Swap contact information and insurance details with everyone involved in the accident.
- Report the accident: File an accident report with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) within 24 hours if there’s property damage, injuries or death involved.
By taking these actions, you can ensure that you have the information you need to proceed with a boat or other type of vehicle accident claim. It is crucial to seek medical care, even if you are not in pain or if you think you are not injured.
Understanding Florida’s Boating Laws
Florida has specific laws governing boating accidents. These include no-fault laws, which require boaters to carry a minimum amount of insurance coverage for medical expenses, regardless of who caused the accident. There are also limits on damages depending on the severity of the accident. We are experienced lawyers who can explain these laws in detail and fight to try to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.
