Austin Swimmer Collision Attorneys

When a person operates a boat, they need to be aware of the other people in the water. Failing to notice the presence of a swimmer in the water around a boat can prove to be extremely dangerous. A boater may strike a swimmer if they are not paying adequate attention to their surroundings. These collisions can cause severe injuries to the swimmer, leaving them with a need for immediate medical attention.

If you or someone you love has been injured by a negligent boater, there may be legal action available to help you pursue financial compensation to address your medical bills and related damages.

Injuries a Swimmer May Suffer

When a fast-moving boat collides with a swimmer, the resulting trauma is likely to be significant. That swimmer may need swift and extensive treatment for these injuries, which can prove life-threatening in many cases. These injuries may include the following:

  • Head injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Spinal damage
  • Severe bleeding

Additionally, if a swimmer loses consciousness or becomes forcibly submerged, he or she may tragically drown, leaving a family to cope with an immeasurable loss.
