Cape Cod/Boston Boating Accident Attorneys
Boating is one of the most popular activities in eastern Massachusetts. Residents and visitors can take advantage of boating opportunities on Cape Cod, Centerville Harbor, Lewis Bay, the Massachusetts Bay and dozens of other picturesque areas. Unfortunately, when boating accidents occur on these waterways, significant injuries can occur.
At the law firm of Aiken & Aiken, P.C., we work to recover compensation for those injured in boating accidents in Massachusetts. Our attorneys have nearly 75 combined years of experience helping clients who were injured by negligent or reckless boat owners and operators. If a loved one passed away in a boating accident, we are ready to help you pursue a wrongful death claim.
To schedule a free consultation with a Massachusetts boating accident lawyer, call (508) 815-4876 or toll free (866) 766-1403. You can also contact our law firm online. With offices in Boston, Hyannis and Falmouth, we represent clients from Boston to Cape Cod and the Islands.
Handling a Wide Range of Boating Cases
Our attorneys have a wealth of experience in personal injury law and a proven record of success. In boat accident cases, we often work with accident reconstructionists, medical experts and other professionals who can help build a strong case. Our thorough preparation often results in favorable settlements with insurance companies and other liable parties. When settlement is not possible, however, we are always ready to stand up for a client's rights in court.
We handle claims related to boats, Jet Skis and other watercraft, including:
- Water-skiing accidents
- Overcrowded boats
- Speeding and other violations of Massachusetts boating laws
- Lack of flotation devices or life jackets
- Public transportation to islands
- Recreational boating accident
- Harbor patrols causing wakes
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Hypothermia
When Drinking Is Involved
Unfortunately, too many people drink while operating a motorboat on our lakes, rivers, even the ocean. Skiing injuries, collisions, even drowning have all occurred as a result of drunk drivers on our waterways. The fact that a driver was drunk does not lessen his or her responsibility. In fact, these cases often involve criminal charges as well as a civil lawsuit. If someone who was operating a boat while under the influence injured you, we will work hard to hold the driver accountable and get you the compensation you need.
