Boating Accidents

Florida personal injury lawyers handling boating accident and watercraft accident cases in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Key Largo, Cooper City and Miramar.

Many Floridians love to take advantage of the state’s gorgeous weather by spending time on its waterways. Whether it’s sport fishing on a boat in the Keys, hopping over large swells on a wave runner in Fort Lauderdale, or cruising the Intracoastal on a yacht in Miami, South Florida offers a significant opportunity for people to enjoy the seas.

However, spending time on the water can be dangerous. The negligence of others can cause injury and death to those who are trying to enjoy Florida’s outdoor lifestyle. Citron & Bloom is familiar with the nuances of investigating and prosecuting a boat accident or personal watercraft accident case.

Sadly, many people are injured on the water due to drunk boating or the poor judgment of an inexperienced boater. Many boaters abuse alcohol on the water and fail to use good judgment when operating a vessel. This unlawful conduct can cause an innocent victim to be seriously injured or killed on the seas. Additionally, many “weekend captains” lack the knowledge and expertise to operate a boat which can cause collisions on the water. A captain’s inexperience can be exposed when operating a vessel at night or in rough weather. Also, many boaters travel at excessive speeds on the water and fail to follow posted speed limits causing crashes.

The professionals at Citron & Bloom know that being the victim of someone else’s negligence in a boating accident can cause a family significant anguish and distress. We will assist you in obtaining the most compensation possible for your injuries including payment of your medical bills, compensation for your lost wages as a result of being out of work due the accident and pain and suffering damages.
