How Can a Boating Accident Attorney in Tampa Help You?

Injured in a Boating Accident?

Common Causes of Boat Accidents

While there are many types of boating accidents, the most common causes of boating accidents include:
Alcohol use (boating under the influence – BUI)
Excessive speeding
Driver inexperience, especially when in poor weather conditions
Mechanical failure
Vessel operator inattention or negligence
Violating navigational rules
Although boating in Tampa Bay is an incredibly fun experience, irresponsible boaters can be behind the wheel of a water vessel, creating a dangerous situation. Thus, boat owners and passengers must take boating safety seriously to avoid accidents.

Negligence in a Boating Accident Lawsuit

Most boating accident lawsuits come forth based on negligence. Anyone injured by a negligent boat driver must prove the following:
The driver owed you a duty of care
The driver breached their duty of care
Their negligence caused the sustained injury
The act of negligence was the direct cause of the injury
Proving these four elements of negligence can be difficult without professional assistance. That’s why having an experienced attorney on your side is crucial.
