Can I Make a Claim for a Miami Boat Collision?
You can make a claim for a Miami boating accident if:
- The accident occurred as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing
- You can prove that the other party was directly responsible for your injuries
- You can prove the extent of the damages and losses you experienced
Boat accidents happen for many reasons, ranging from defective vessels to negligent boat maintenance to careless or intoxicated operation. In some cases, you may have a claim against the boat manufacturer if a defective vessel causes your accident. In other circumstances, you can pursue a claim for compensation from the driver of another vessel that hit your boat or even from the driver of the boat that you were a passenger on. A Miami boating accident lawyer will help you determine who was responsible for your boat accident and whether Florida law entitles you to pursue a claim for compensation. If the driver of the boat was your friend and he or she behaved in a negligent way, you shouldn’t hesitate to pursue your claim. Boaters buy insurance and the purpose of the insurance policy is to cover losses that the policyholder causes to others. You won’t be taking money from your friend if you pursue a boat accident claim, but will instead be avoiding significant financial loss by making the insurance company pay for damages.
