Much like auto accidents, boating accidents require that certain steps be taken to protect your rights. Insurance companies will act as if they are working in your best interests, however, their first and foremost aim is to keep their own costs down, no matter what they tell you. You may not realize the full scope of the compensatory damages that you are entitled to and accepting a settlement without legal representation may be a financial disaster from which you will never recover.
Due to the fact that you are under stress after the accident, the insurance company will often try to settle with you very quickly, knowing that you are more likely to accept a settlement offer when under financial and personal stress. Hiring our experienced personal injury attorney after a boating accident will greatly improve your chances of recovering full and fair compensation.
