How Much Can You Win in a Judgment After Your Boating Accident?

Our team cannot guarantee that our clients will win a certain amount in any personal injury lawsuit. Any award a victim can win after someone else’s recklessness causes an injury in a boating accident will depend on the accident’s circumstances and the severity of the person’s injuries.

A victim who must miss several weeks or months of work and experiences a reduced quality of life due to their injuries could win a large settlement. You can view our personal injury case results here.

We Understand the Importance of Winning Your Seneca Boating Case

Regardless of the compensation we seek to win for you, we fully understand how important this award will be for you. When you are unable to work at the same time you are facing significant medical costs, you are relying on a settlement for your financial well-being. We will evaluate all damages in your case and assign a monetary value to it. This is the amount we will seek compensation for on your behalf.

Your South Carolina Boating Accident Case Must Be Filed By a Certain Time

We take our role on your behalf very seriously. We work tirelessly for our clients and will do everything in our power to win your case. It is important you reach out to us as soon as possible. State law puts all personal injury cases on a deadline the day that they happen. For injury cases involving boating accidents, you generally have three years to file legal action for damages, per S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. If you miss this deadline, you won’t be able to pursue financial recovery from the person who caused your accident. We will ensure your case is filed with the court by or before the deadline.

We Are on Your Side

When you suffer a boating accident injury, you might hear from the insurance company representing the other party. The insurer’s representative may claim that the insurance company will help you achieve a fair settlement and that you do not need a boating injury lawyer.

You certainly have the right to try to represent yourself in negotiations with the insurance company. However, you also should consider that the insurer deals with accidents like this regularly, and the insurance company does not work for you. Instead, it increases its profits by limiting the amount it pays in settlements.

Our boating accident attorneys will use our experience with representing victims of the negligence of others to your benefit.

We will represent your best interests as we seek financial recovery from the insurer that you are due. We also prepare your case for trial, whether we go to court or not. We work for you and are serious about recovering financial compensation for you.

We Fully Understand South Carolina’s Boating Laws

When you are visiting lakes in the Seneca, South Carolina, area, such as the popular Lake Keowee, you are looking to have an enjoyable day. You probably are not thinking about the possibility of another boater causing an injury accident for you.

However, it only takes a moment for another boat operator to make a mistake that leads to a significant accident. Perhaps that boater actually strikes your boat, causing your injuries. Perhaps the reckless boater violated safety regulations and caused a water skier you are towing to lose control, leading to serious or life-threatening injuries.

Common Violations Boaters May Commit

According to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, some of the ways boaters violate the rules in the state for operating a motorboat include:

• Operating the boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Ignoring the rule that gives the boat approaching from the right the right-of-way
• Failing to observe “no wake zones” at lakes
• Traveling at high speeds at night
• Allowing underage people to operate the boat
• Operating the boat without the proper training
• Operating the boat recklessly in the presence of swimmers and boaters
• Failing to watch closely enough for other boats, swimmers, and personal watercraft

When a boat operator makes any of these errors in your accident, it could be a sign of negligence. If so, this gives you the right to bring a boating injury lawsuit against the party that caused your accident. We will investigate to determine what happened and who’s responsible for your crash.
