“What should I do after a boat accident?”

If you’ve been involved in a boating accident and you or someone else has been injured, here’s what you should do in order to protect yourself and your legal rights in the event you file an injury claim or lawsuit:

• Call 911 — If you’ve been involved in a boat accident and you or someone else is injured, call 911 immediately. Be honest and accurate with the responding law enforcement officer(s), and remember that anything you say can and will be used against you. The accident report from law enforcement may be important evidence that a boat accident lawyer can use in pursuing your claim or lawsuit.
• Seek medical attention — Seek immediate medical care for any injuries. Even if you don’t feel like you’re injured, you may be — and you should always follow the recommendation of emergency responders. Medical records will play an important role in any potential lawsuit or claim for boat accident injuries.
• Take photos of damage and any injuries — Take photos of the boat accident scene and any damage to the boat(s) or other property. Be sure to also take photos of any injuries you or other occupants suffered.
• Do not give a statement to the insurance company — The boat or homeowner’s insurance company may ask for a recorded statement. Do not give any statement to the insurance company before first talking with a Jacksonvill boat accident lawyer. Insurance companies will often go to great lengths to avoid paying an injuy claim and you need to be careful.
• Contact a boat accident lawyer — If you or a loved one has been injured in a boat accident, contact a boating accident lawyer immediately. Your attorney can review your case, advise you on your legal rights and, if necessary, help you file a claim or lawsuit.
