How a Tampa Boat Accident Lawyer Can Help
Florida's waterways see serious collisions and falls. We handle the unique rules that govern boating injury claims.
Florida's waterways see collisions, groundings, and falls that cause serious injury, and boating claims are governed by their own mix of state and maritime rules rather than ordinary auto law. Operator inexperience, intoxication, and excessive speed are common factors.
We handle the distinct legal framework these cases require and investigate the operator's conduct and the vessel's condition to establish responsibility for the harm.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
- ✓Past and future medical expenses
- ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
Boat Accidents FAQs
- How much does a Tampa boat accident lawyer cost?
- Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles boat accidents cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.
- How long do I have to file a boat accidents claim in Florida?
- Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.
- What is my boat accidents case worth?
- Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.
- Do I have to go to court for a boat accidents case?
- Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
