Knoxville Boating Accident Attorney
Representing Those Injured After a Boating, Jet Ski, or Wave Runner Accident
When the weather warms up, people head for the lake to boat, Jet Ski, waterski, wakeboard, tube, and wake surf. Whether it’s Fort Loudon, Norris, Douglas, Cherokee, Melton Hill, Watts Bar, Tellico, or any other of Tennessee’s numerous lakes and rivers, there are many opportunities for boating in Tennessee.
Unfortunately, the lakes and rivers are more crowded now than they have ever been. There are many new boaters on area waterways. Accidents can and do happen. Some of the many causes of a boat, Jet Ski, or wave runner accidents are speed, inexperience, inattention, drinking alcohol, drug use, and/or boating at night.
Injuries range from propeller strike injuries, blunt force trauma from hitting another boat, Jet Ski, wave runner, watercraft, an object such as a navigation buoy, island, bridge, or land, to death from drowning.
If you ask a potential boating accident attorney one question, ask any attorney you speak with how many actual boating or Jet Ski cases they have handled. Admiralty law is very different from general personal injury law. While there are many general personal injury attorneys, there are very few attorneys that have experience handling boating accident cases. What you or your attorney don’t know about boating law can hurt you, and it can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars if your attorney does not have the knowledge and experience to handle boating accident cases.
