who Is Liable In A Boating Accident?

Boating accidents can lead to injuries such as amputations, head injuries, brain injuries, burn injuries, and fatal drowning. At Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, we treat every client like a person—not a case number. Allow us to advocate on your behalf following a severe boat crash.

WHO IS LIABLE IN A BOATING ACCIDENT?

Similar to motor vehicle accidents, various parties can be held accountable for a boating accident. Depending on what caused the accident, any of the below parties could be found liable:

  • The boat owner
  • The boat manufacturer
  • The boat operator
  • The boat rental company
  • A passenger

If a boat malfunction caused your accident, this could be attributed to poor maintenance on the part of the owner, rental company, or even the manufacturer in case of product liability.
