Austin Stationary Object Collisions Lawyers

Driving a boat on open water is not always as easy going or relaxed as many people make it seem. Boaters may have to navigate their vehicles around other boats, kayakers, and swimmers in order to avoid accidents. But they may also have to steer around stationary objects. When boaters operate a vessel negligently or recklessly and collide with these objects, they endanger the safety of those on board and in the vicinity.

Suffering an injury in an accident caused by someone else’s negligent actions can lead to a very trying time in your life. If you or someone you know has been injured in a boating accident, you may be eligible for financial compensation.

Consequences of Boater Negligence

Some of the most common types of stationary objects that boaters may have to navigate around include anchored boats or other watercraft, sand bars, piers, buoys, and more. The severity of an accident and injuries depend on many different factors such as speed of the vehicle or the size of the object. If a boater acts negligently, the following injuries may occur:

• Severe lacerations and contusions
• Brain damage due to oxygen deprivation
• Head, neck, and back injuries
• Burn injuries

Tragically, due to the likelihood of an individual losing consciousness or becoming trapped underwater, individuals may drown, leaving a grieving family to cope with an unimaginable loss.
