The proof of injury claims on the water is not a great deal different from motor vehicle accident litigation, at least to the extent that the victim needs to prove negligent or reckless conduct on the part of the defendant and resulting losses. The plaintiff also needs to find out whether insurance is available or whether any other party can make good the damages.
As experienced personal injury lawyers, we know how to evaluate, investigate and present the facts of liability and damages so as to maximize the chance that you can receive full financial compensation for your losses. At the same time, we work closely with our clients in order to answer your questions, keep you advised about the progress of your case, and help with the practical problems that can come up as you concentrate on achieving a full physical recovery.
We apply our skill and experience with personal injury claims in such boating accident situations as the following:
- Fishing boat accidents
- Water ski accidents
- Personal watercraft collisions
- Drunk boating or so-called BUI accidents
- Injuries suffered on casino boats
- Injuries on sightseeing or tour boats
With offices in Lafayette and Orange, we can serve the needs of clients in both Louisiana and Texas. We also represent boating accident victims who suffered their injuries while visiting from other states.
For a free consultation about your rights in the aftermath of a recreational boating accident, contact a personal injury attorney at Bernard & Hart at either of our two locations.
