Virginia Watercraft & Boat Accident Attorneys
What To Do If You Are In A Pleasure Boating, Water Skiing, or Jet Ski Accident
If you were in an accident on the water that resulted in injury, loss of life, or property damage, medical attention immediately. You should call the local authorities and file an accident report. Be sure to include as much evidence and details surrounding the accident as possible. It is imperative that you report water-related accidents in a timely fashion especially if injury, death, or disappearance has occurred. A report is especially important in the following circumstances:
- Someone was severely injured and requires medical attention that goes beyond first aid
- Property damage of over $500
- Death occurred as a result of the accident
- A watercraft operator or user has disappeared from the vessel
In any case, the next important step is to seek counsel from an experienced boat crash lawyer. At Montagna Law, we are here to protect your rights and help you navigate your way through maritime law to get you a favorable outcome.
