Boats float on water. Water is wet. Wet things are slippery. Common sense dictates caution when walking on a boat due to the high probability of slippery conditions. However, slip and fall accidents can impact even the most cautious among us, often resulting in serious, sometimes permanent, injury.
Do you have an obligation to practice caution while on a boat? Of course. But you also have a right to use walkways for their intended purpose without fear of injury. When proper precautions are not taken by the owner or operator of a boat and you suffer as a result, you are entitled to seek compensation through legal action. The attorneys at Kelleher Law are here to help.
Causes of Marine Slip and Fall Accidents:
No matter the cause, if you have slipped, fallen, and been injured on a boat, you may have cause to file suit and seek compensation for your damages.
Damages in a Slip and Fall Case
You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, wages lost during recovery or due to an inability to work, and personal pain and suffering. It is important to remember that insurance companies seldom provide full compensation for these damages. Talking to an attorney remains one of the most effective ways to truly understand what your claim is worth.
