Boating Accidents – Recreational Injury Attorney

If you’re hurt during a recreational activity, turn to our attorneys for help

Throughout the year, Pennsylvania and New Jersey residents participate in seasonal outdoor activities, including swimming, boating and winter weather activities. While responsible participants do take safety precautions, there is always the risk of injury, often due to negligence on the part of a property owner, vehicle operator or equipment manufacturer.

Recreational injuries can range from minor bumps and bruises to serious injuries that can have life-altering consequences. If you’ve been hurt in a recreational accident, our experienced attorneys can help.

Insurance companies can be particularly difficult to deal with after a recreational injury. As with motorcycle accidents, they may argue that you assumed the risk of injury by participating in a dangerous activity. You don’t have to accept that answer. If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to foot the bill. You need a lawyer from Flager & Associates, PC to argue your case.

Boating accidents happen in part because people underestimate certain dangers and irresponsibly operate boats.  Rivers, lakes and other bodies of water in and around Pennsylvania and New Jersey are often crowded with boats, jet skis and other watercraft, all of which can be involved in collisions or other accidents. Just as the stairs in and out of a building are frequently the site of fall down injuries, the gangways and docks leading to a boat are often the site of boat passenger injuries.

Many injuries on the water happen due to negligence. For example, as with drunk drivers on the roads, an impaired operator of a boat may be liable for injuries in an accident. Inadequate lighting or railings on a vessel can pose premises liability concerns. Sometimes, injuries can be caused by defective safety equipment on the boat itself, leading to a potential product liability claim against the manufacturer.
