Have you or a loved one been injured in a boating accident?

  • Do not rely on insurance companies.
  • You are our top priority.

We understand the hardship and loss that is suffered after a boating accident involving serious injury or death.  Accident victims and families in the Upper Midwest, including Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota, rely on the experienced boating accident attorneys at Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben to help them navigate the aftermath of difficult situations.

BOATING ACCIDENTS OVERVIEW

Boat accidents are usually caused by one of three factors: an inexperienced boater, intoxicated operator or a boat malfunction.  More than a third of both fatal and non-fatal boat accidents are alcohol related.  It is estimated that boat operators with a blood alcohol content of .10 or higher are 10 times more likely to be injured or killed in a boating accident than sober operators.

The most common types of boat accidents include:

  • Boat collision with other boats, personal watercraft or swimmers
  • Slip or fall due to wet surface
  • Boat sinking or tipping
  • Boat fire / explosion

Boating accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as catastrophic burns, broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.

DO NOT RELY ON INSURANCE COMPANIES

Do not accept any claim before you speak with an attorney.  Many large insurance companies have adopted settlement policies that encourage their adjusters to offer quick payments to persons involved in an accident.  Insurance adjusters will contact you or your family shortly after an accident to try to gain your confidence.  In doing so, insurance adjusters often try to present themselves as the friend of the injured person or the family of the person who was killed in an accident.  The goal of such contact is to settle the case on terms as favorable as possible for the insurance company.
