Riding in a watercraft can be just as dangerous as riding in an automobile, if not more so. And just as automobile drivers must observe the rules of the road, watercraft operators owe passengers, swimmers and other boaters a duty to operate their watercrafts legally and responsibly. If you or a family member has been injured due to the negligence of a boat, jet ski or other watercraft operator, the attorneys of Fried & Bonder can help you recover the compensation you deserve.
You may be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one has been injured because a watercraft operator has:
- Failed to keep a lookout for boats, personal watercraft or other obstructions
- Failed to exercise caution for water skiers or swimmers
- Failed to keep a watercraft in proper working condition
- Engaged in speeding or other reckless conduct
- Operated a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Failed to take proper precaution in unsafe weather or water conditions
