Boat Accident Attorneys

Boat Accident Attorneys

Evansville Area, Southern Illinois & Western Kentucky

Summer fun can turn dangerous, quickly. Driving a boat and/or personal watercraft carelessly or even intoxicated can result in serious injuries or death. Many boat accidents are caused by people that do not follow boating rules or even know them. In 87% of the deaths that were caused by boating accidents, the operator had not received boat safety instruction from a course provider offering a course meeting the U.S. Coast Guard national standards.

Alcohol is the most common factor in boat accidents. The top five contributing factors of boating accidents are operator inattention, improper lookout, operator inexperience, excessive speed, and machinery failure. Proper use of life jackets would result in fewer deaths each year.

If you have suffered an injury from a water-related accident that is not your fault, contact an Evansville-based boat accident attorney at Robert John and Associates. Most settlements do not require court and many injury settlements are reached without litigation. If your family is suffering the loss of a loved one or has suffered an injury due to the negligence of a boat operator contact our personal injury lawyers today. We can help protect your rights.
