Utah Boat Accident Law Firm and Attorneys

With over 14 million boats and watercrafts registered in this county today, the incident rate of boating accidents is constantly increasing. In fact, each year thousands of people are killed or injured due to a boating accident. The most common types of watercraft to be involved in a boating accident include powerboats, cruisers, jet skis, and even sailboats. When looking for a Utah boating accident attorney, you need an attorney who has:

• Experience handling serious personal injury lawsuits.
• A strong background in representing victims of accidents.
• Successfully recovered millions in damages for clients in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

Nearly 700 people were killed and 3,451 people were injured as a result of the 4,969 boating accidents in 2005, according to statistics from the U.S. Coast Guard. While you may know how to properly navigate your vessel, that doesn't mean that other boaters sharing the lakes are as knowledgeable or cautious. In fact, the number one cause of boating accidents was the careless or reckless operation of the boat. Coming in second was operator inattention. Other factors causing some of the nearly 5,000 accidents were excessive speed, operator inexperience, alcohol use, and improper lookout

If you’ve been in a boating accident at any of Utah's lakes or reservoirs like Bear Lake, Pineview, Jordanell, Echo, Powell, Deer Creek, or others, you need the proven skill and knowledge of the boating accident attorney at The Lance Firm, with years of experience representing victims of boating accidents caused by another’s negligence.

The causes of boating accidents vary greatly. The most common type of accident involving motorboats is collision with another vessel, followed by accidents involving skier mishaps, and falls overboard.

The leading causes of accidents with both open motorboats and personal water craft are:

• Operator inattention
• Operator inexperience
• Improper Equipment
• Speeding
• Alcohol

Your boat crash injuries, if they are the fault of another’s negligence, faulty or improper equipment, may entitle you to compensation for those injuries. Our Utah boat accident injury attorney at The Lance Firm, Dustin Lance, has represented numerous boating accident clients who were seriously injured while boating, fishing or using a personal watercraft and has successfully recovered for these clients. You will never have to pay any fees upfront and we only get paid if you are awarded monetary compensation.
