Boating Accidents

Massachusetts Boating Accident Injury Attorneys

Drivers or captains of boats are responsible for the safe operation of their vehicles in the same way motorists are required to obey rules of the road. At the law office of Aiken & Aiken, our lawyers hold negligent boat drivers accountable in a court of law for the injuries they cause. We’re prepared to investigate fishing accidents, accidental drowning, injuries on ferries, and recreational boat crashes that result in death. We hire our own investigators, consult with prominent medical professionals, and work with maritime professionals who explain how an accident occurred, the scope of your injuries, and how it could have been avoided by obeying the law.

We have the resources to help you demand the financial compensation you deserve. Contact a Massachusetts boating accident injury attorney at Aiken & Aiken today and schedule a free consultation.

Boating Accidents and Serious Injuries

The personal injury lawyers at Aiken & Aiken represent clients involved in the following kinds of boating accidents:

• Absences of life jackets on board a maritime vessel
• Careless / reckless operation of a yacht or sail boat, including speeding
• Public transportation to islands
• Recreational boating accident
• Harbor patrols causing wakes
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Skiing accident
• Hypothermia

When Drinking is Involved

Unfortunately, too many people drink while operating a motor boat on our lakes, rivers, even the ocean. Skiing injuries, collisions, even drowning have all occurred as a result of drunk drivers on our waterways. When a boating fatality occurs, the driver is liable to a wrongful death suit, in addition to what other injuries may have been caused. As your personal injury attorneys, we hire an economic impact analyst to determine the cost of your injuries in terms of lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses. Drunk operation does not mitigate someone’s responsibility and often involves criminal charges as well.
