Watercraft Injury

Our beautiful state of Minnesota is perfect for boating trips and other watercraft fun. But every year, people are injured in the water and lose loved ones in boating and personal watercraft accidents. In these types of cases, our legal team here at the Bolt & Hoffer Law Firm can represent you or your loved one that has suffered a watercraft injury.

Wearing a personal floatation device (PFD) can save your life, but it will not always protect you from negligent boat operators.

Boat accidents are often caused by driver inexperience that leads to negligent driving: speeding, right of way violations, and the failure to notice obstructions and other vessels can lead to serious watercraft injuries. Drunk boating can also be a factor in serious watercraft accidents, especially during the summer holidays. We have handled cases involving jet skis, fishing boats, pontoons, ski boats, and other personal watercraft. Most responsible people have insurance that will cover injuries cause by negligent operation of boats and other watercraft.

If a commercial vessel caused your watercraft injury, one of our Minnesota injury attorneys can also help you seek the justice you deserve.

The drivers of charter lines, pleasure cruises, and other types of vessels can be just as negligent in their operation as private individuals. If you were injured in such an accident, or legal team can help you recover compensation from the company or entity that owns the faulted vessel. Boating companies must be kept accountable for the accidents their boats and employees cause.

Here at the Bolt & Hoffer Law Firm, many of us have extensive experience as watercraft operators, water-skiers, and fishing enthusiasts, which gives us insight into the nature of these accidents and how they can happen.
