Boat Accidents

Toledo and Northwest Ohio and Michgan Boating Accident Lawyer

A nice afternoon on the lake can quickly turn to tragedy. Drunken boat operators can collide with other boats or disregard warning buoys and speed limits. They can pass too near a dock or follow a water skier too closely. Engines or steering mechanisms on personal watercraft and powerboats can be defective, causing the operator to lose control.

Serious Injuries from a Boating Accident

Whatever their cause, injuries from boating accidents are often catastrophic or fatal. Drowning, amputations, or serious head and brain injuries are frequent consequences of a boating accident. When the injury-causing accident or fatality is the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of another, the injured person or his family can seek compensation for the injuries, medical expenses, and other costs of the accident. At our law firm, Williams DeClark Tuschman Co., L.P.A., we have been helping accident injury victims and their families for more than 30 years.
