Fighting For Boat Accident Victims in Missouri

Missouri is home to several beautiful lakes and rivers. From The Lake of Ozarks to Table Rock Lake, these bodies of water attract locals and tourists alike for year-round for activities like fishing, boating, bird watching, and other recreational fun. Unfortunately, not everyone who takes to the water practices boat safety, and their careless actions could endanger everyone on and near the water. Intoxicated boaters, careless drivers, unmarked water hazards, and defective equipment are just a few of the many potential dangers that lurk on Missouri waters each and every day.

Common Types of Boating Accidents

Some boat accidents are caused by operator errors, while others might be the result of inclement weather, mechanical failures or unforeseen obstacles, like rocks or hazards sitting beneath the water’s surface. Whatever the cause, boating accidents can result in major damage and may seriously injure or even take the lives of drivers, passengers, as well as other nearby boaters and swimmers.

Some of the common types of Missouri boating accidents include:

• Boat traffic accidents and collisions

Once we have determined liability, our legal team can help you seek maximum compensation for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
