  • Build your case. A lawyer will gather evidence to determine the cause of the accident and prove your claim.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies. Lawyers negotiate with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement for you and ensure you are not taken advantage of.

How Do Boating Accidents Happen?

Unfortunately, many incidents are preventable by following safety precautions and being aware of potential hazards. Here are some common causes of boating accidents:

  • Operator inattention. Distractions like cell phones or loud music can take your eyes off the water, leading to collisions with other vessels or obstacles.
  • Boating under the influence (BUI). Alcohol and drugs impair your judgment and reaction time, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, Nevada law prohibits the operation of any water vessel or water skis while under the influence.
  • Inexperience. Understanding your boat’s mechanics and navigation rules is crucial for safe operation. Taking a boater safety course can equip you with the necessary knowledge.
  • Improper lookout. A designated lookout helps spot hazards and other boats, especially in busy waterways. Failure to have a lookout can cause an accident.
  • Failure to wear life jackets. Life jackets save lives. Ensure everyone on board has a properly fitted life jacket.

If you’ve been injured in a boating accident in Las Vegas caused by someone else’s negligence, a Las Vegas boating accident attorney can help you understand the legal process.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR LAS VEGAS INJURY CLIENTS SAY

Dennis Vesely

Friedman Injury Law handled a litigation case for me recently and I couldn’t have been more pleased. From the beginning I received personal attention from the attorney even though my case didn’t involve that much money by personal injury standards. Their staff is friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I was kept informed of the case’s progress every step of the way by either support staff or the attorney himself. They took the time to explain things and answered my questions thoroughly. In the end, I received a larger settlement than I had expected, and sooner than expected, due to the attorney’s negotiating skills with both the insurance company and the medical providers. I would highly recommend Friedman Injury Law no matter how large or small your case may be.

I had a great experience working with Blake, Kevin and Maggie after my car accident. From the very beginning they were professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about helping me through the whole process. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood what was happening with my case every step of the way. They found a nearby location for my physical therapy and all I had to do was schedule my appointments. What really stood out was how hard they worked to get the best outcome possible. Dealing with an accident can be stressful, but they handled everything and made the process much easier for me. In the end, I was extremely happy with the payout and definitely didn’t expect the amount I received. I highly recommend Blake and his team to anyone who needs a lawyer after a car accident. They are knowledgeable, dedicated, and really look out for their clients.
