Recovering from injuries sustained in a boating accident may cost you thousands of dollars in medical bills, significant pain and suffering, mental trauma, and inability to work and pay for your treatment or even the basic life necessities. Fortunately, you can seek compensation for everything you endured and all your losses by pursuing a claim against the liable party(s).
While every boat accident is unique, your compensation may result in payments to cover your:
Medical bills, including doctor appointments, hospitalization costs, surgery, therapy, rehabilitation, medication, and others;
Lost income and diminished earning capacity during the time you miss work while undergoing treatment and potentially in the future;
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other non-economic damages that are not easy to quantify in monetary terms;
Property damage if your vessel or any personal property (e.g., phone) was damaged or destroyed in the accident; and
Other expenses associated with the accident, including transportation, personal care, and more.
Obtaining fair compensation for the costs and losses incurred after a boat accident can be a lengthy and complicated process that requires legal assistance.
Our California boat accident lawyer at Galine, Frye, Fitting & Frangos can identify recoverable damages in your case, calculate your losses, and pursue the compensation you deserve through all available sources, including filing an insurance claim or suing the at-fault party.
