BOATING ACCIDENTS

Sinking Boat

With only a few months of summer every year, our gorgeous Wisconsin lakes get a lot of use in a short amount of time.

While out on the lake, it is important to remember that recreational boat accidents happen more often than many people realize.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), there were 108 boating accidents in 2018.

Many of the recreational boating accidents in Wisconsin were due to negligence. These may include, but are not limited to: collision with another boat, collision with a wave, collision with rocks and land, or the lack of proper safety equipment- such as life jackets.

When a recreational boating accident occurs and causes injury, the injured person may have a claim to compensation under Wisconsin law. Boating injury cases can be quite complex, and you need a personal injury lawyer with experience in the practice. You need our legal team on your side.
