Tampa Boating Accident Lawyers

Seek immediate medical help, report the accident to local authorities, and gather as much information as possible—photos, boat registration numbers, witness details. Don’t speak with insurance representatives until you’ve consulted with an attorney who knows maritime law.

Depending on the circumstances, liability could fall on the boat operator, rental companies, manufacturers of defective equipment, or maintenance providers. We dig into every angle to ensure the right parties are held accountable for your injuries.

It depends. Some private boat owners carry liability insurance, but rental companies often require separate waivers or policies. We investigate all insurance avenues to ensure you have access to the maximum compensation available.

You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost income, future rehabilitation costs, pain & suffering, and property damage (if personal belongings were lost). We tailor each claim to reflect the full extent of your losses.

Florida generally follows a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including boating injuries. However, certain maritime laws can impose different timelines—especially for accidents offshore. Early action protects your rights.
