If someone hits your boat, there are some important steps you should try to take right away. This is true whether the incident happens at a marina, boat landing, dock, or on the open water. You should call the U.S. Coast Guard or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Division of Law Enforcement from the scene. You should exchange insurance information with the other boater, and you should take lots of photos. If you were injured in the accident, you should seek medical treatment promptly, and you should talk to an attorney as soon as possible. Reporting the accident is required, and taking these additional steps will help maximize your chances of obtaining just compensation.
