Who Is Liable in Boating Accidents During Bad Weather?
If you have gotten into a boating accident due to inclement weather, especially if you suffer serious injuries, you might wonder if you can hold someone accountable for your losses. Many individuals might hold liability for your losses and injuries, including but not limited to the following:
- Boating operator
- Boating rental company
- Boating employee
- Another guest or rider
- Parts or boat manufacturers
- Distributors
Other parties can also be responsible for your injuries. Especially when you put trust in others to judge whether the weather is safe, you have the right to hold people accountable. We encourage you to retain support from an attorney, like one from Younglove Law Group. Our team can help determine who is liable, hold them accountable, and obtain the complete compensation you need to heal and recover.
