When Can I Sue For My Boat Injuries?
If you were injured while on a boat, you could be eligible to receive compensation if someone else’s actions caused or contributed to the incident that resulted in your injuries. There are many contributing factors that could mean you qualify for compensation, such as:

• The boat operator was inattentive
• The operator of the boat was inexperienced
• There were not proper lookouts or other staff helping with navigation or operation of the boat
• The boat was being operated at an excessive and unsafe speed
• A failure of the boat equipment
• The operator of the boat was under the influence of alcohol or other substances
• Hazardous waters or weather conditions

These are all examples that could be the reason for your injuries when the following common voting incidents occur:

• The victim slips and falls while onboard the boat
• The victim falls overboard
• The boat capsizes
• The boat collides with another vessel or object

In these incidents, the most common injuries sustained by a victim include:

• Broken bones
• Soft tissue damage
• Head trauma
• Severe lacerations or amputations
• Back, neck, or spinal cord damage
• Burns

Of course, after experiencing any boating accident, your health and safety should be your focus. However, after you are safe and have sought medical care, be sure to get in touch with Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience. Our staff can be reached around the clock to help you as you strive to understand your rights and the impact of your injuries.

Who Could Be To Blame For Your Boat Accident Injuries?
It can be difficult to understand whom to hold accountable for your injuries suffered while on board a boat. So, it is critical to seek the guidance and assistance of the boating accident injury experts at Normandie Law Firm. Our team has decades of combined experience helping boat injury victims like yourself get the compensation and justice they deserve. One of the first challenges in this process is determining who is at fault for the harm you suffered. The negligent party could be any of the following:

• The boat operator
• The boat owner
• Another passenger on the boat
• A crew member on the boat
• The boat’s manufacturer
• Another boat operator or crew member
• Jet ski riders or other occupants of small water vessels nearby
• Lifeguards
• Anyone who was near your boat before or at the time of the incident

As you can see, it can be extremely challenging to sort through the factors that caused your injuries, so it is essential that you have the representation of the boat accident injury experts at Normandie Law Firm to litigate your claim. Ultimately, our staff needs to determine who is liable and possibly even demonstrate that you are not liable for your injuries or that you were only partially reasonable and still are eligible for partial compensation, as California is a comparative negligence state.

How Will Normandie Law Firm Determine The Amount Of My Boat Accident Injury Claim?
It is crucial for victims of any personal injuries to know that there are no predetermined values or amounts assigned to particular injuries or kinds of injuries that result in a lawsuit. Each lawsuit compensation amount is independently determined by evaluating the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim.

You will work closely with your Normandie Law Firm legal team to compile all of the allowable costs that were incurred due to the accident in the following categories:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate the injuries suffered on the boat or in the boating accident, which can include any mental healthcare for the trauma of the incident, essential medical devices, and prescribed medication
• Your loss of income if your injuries prevent you from performing the tasks of your regular job or you miss work to attend medical appointments or treatment related to the boating accident injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the boat accident
• Pain and suffering can apply in some instances due to the severity of the injuries and recovery time
