Boating Accidents

Our firm represents clients in the Chicago area who have suffered personal injuries or lost loved ones in boating accidents and collisions. Many factors can contribute to a boating accident either on a privately owned vessel or a personal watercraft (jet ski). Some of these factors include:

Driver error
Driver inexperience
Boating while intoxicated
Equipment failure
Adverse weather and/or water conditions

As a general rule of law, a boat operator and its owner must exercise the highest degree of care to prevent injuries to those passengers in the boat or swimmers or others in the waters or boats around them.

If you have suffered an injury or lost a loved one to a boating accident, contact us online or call for a free consultation at 847-263-7770.
