It started out as a fun day on the water and it ended in a way that no one could have expected. Boating accidents are more common than you think, and can have deadly consequences. Bendall & Mednick welcomes clients in New York, Massachusetts, or Georgia who have suffered personal injuries or lost loved ones in boating accidents and collisions. Many factors can contribute to a boating accident either on a privately owned vessel, a personal watercraft (jet ski) or even a ferry. Some of these factors include:

• Operator error
• Operator inexperience
• Boating while intoxicated
• Equipment failure
• Adverse weather and/or water conditions

As a general rule of law a boat operator and its owner must exercise care to prevent injuries to those passengers in the boat or swimmers or others in the waters or boats around them. Call us to discuss your situation and to go over the options available to you. Put our experience to work for you with the insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure that all of your needs are handled appropriately.
