Boating Accidents Can Cause Life-Changing Injuries

Boaters Must Be As Responsible As Drivers

Like driving a car on the road, driving a boat on Lake Austin, Lake Travis, or any body of water in Texas requires sobriety, obedience of the law, and attention to safety. Boating accidents can include boat collisions and boat versus person accidents.

Causes of these accidents can include:

  • Abrupt stops
  • Hitting a wake at excessive speeds
  • Boating in the darkness or in poor weather conditions
  • Reckless boating
  • Drugs or alcohol intoxication while operating a boat

 

The consequences of a boat accident range in severity and type. Serious propeller injuries, amputation and death are just a few possible results of a boating accident.

If you or your family member suffered major injuries, Austin’s best boating accident injury lawyer can help you seek fair compensation. Paul Batrice’s works with the top personal injury attorneys in Texas, and we’re ready to guide you through your personal injury claim or lawsuit.
