Orlando Boat-Swimmer Collision Attorney
Throughout spring and summer, Florida’s lakes and beaches can become very crowded. For the sake of both safety and enjoyment, it is important for everyone present to share the space respectfully. If just one person fails to do so, serious accidents are likely to result. One of the most dangerous kinds of boating accident is a collision between a water vehicle and a swimmer.
If you or a loved one has been hurt by the negligent behavior of a boater or swimmer, you could have grounds for legal action. Orlando boat-swimmer collision attorney Todd Miner can evaluate your case, advise you of your options, and defend your rights. Call our offices at 407-420-4040.
The Painful Consequences of Boating Accidents
When boaters and swimmers maintain a safe distance from one another, the risk of a collision between them is very small. Unfortunately, boats and swimmers alike sometimes move into areas where they are not allowed, or fail to pay attention to their surroundings. Although either party, or even a third party, can be responsible for such a collision, it is usually swimmers who suffer the worst injuries.
You may want to contact an Orlando swimmer collision attorney if a negligent boater, boat manufacturer, or other party has caused you or a loved one to suffer from injuries such as:
- Severe skin lacerations, often due to engines or propeller blades
- Spinal cord injuries or other nerve damage
- Submersion injuries (brain damage or death due to lack of oxygen)
- Concussion or other head injuries
- Internal organ damage
Coping with these injuries can place a good deal of emotional and financial strain on victims and their loved ones. If you have experienced an accident caused by another party’s recklessness, you should not have to face the consequences alone.
