How Our Boating Accident Lawyer Will Help You
Lawyers from our firm cater to clients’ specific needs. We will evaluate your case and proceed in a way that we believe will result in awards for you.
We will first determine who is legally responsible for your boating accident. The at-fault party in your case may include:
- A boat driver
- A boat owner
- A boat manufacturer
- A boat component manufacturer
We will pursue awards from all parties who are liable for your accident. We build your case from start to finish.
We will build your case by:
Interviewing Witnesses
Witness accounts of your accident may already exist. Whether they do or not, we can speak with witnesses who saw your boating accident.
These accounts may be firsthand evidence to prove that you were the victim of negligence. They may be valuable to our negotiations, as well.
Gathering Documentation of Your Injuries
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) lists 14 different injury types that come from boating accidents, not including “unspecified” injuries. You may be suffering from one or more of these injuries, and you may need:
- Surgery
- Medications
- Rehabilitation
- Other forms of medical care
We will document your injuries. Your doctors’ testimony can confirm the seriousness of your injuries. It may also confirm that you will need future medical care. Photographs, charts, x-rays, and other medical documentation could help us demonstrate the severity of your condition.
Collecting Documentation of Your Other Losses
We will fight for coverage of all of your accident-related losses, including:
- Wages you have lost because of your injuries
- Wages that you will lose in the future
- Pain and suffering
- A decline in your earning capacity
- Past, current, and future medical expenses
- Any damage to personal property, such as your boat
Documentation is important as evidence of your damages. Our team will complete the evidence-gathering and documentation stages of your case.
The team at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine goes the extra mile for you. We will complete your lawsuit or insurance claim on your behalf. While a St. Petersburg boating accident lawyer from our firm pursues financial recovery, you can tend to your health.
We Deal with Fatal Boating Accidents
Some boating accidents result in the loss of life. We seek justice for these losses through wrongful death claims and lawsuits.
If your loved one died in a boating accident, then we may secure compensation for:
- The cost of their funeral
- Wages they would have earned in the future
- The loss of financial security for the deceased’s spouse and children
- The cost of their accident-related medical care
- The loss of companionship for the deceased’s spouse
- The loss of parental instruction and guidance for the deceased’s children
- Pain and suffering of surviving loved ones
Florida Statute § 768.21 defines who can receive compensation for wrongful death. We will explain how this statute applies to your case. We will seek financial justice for any eligible members of your family.
We Do Not Charge You Upfront for Our Services
Our attorneys work for a fee, but you don’t pay the fee unless we win. The payment of our fee is contingent on you receiving compensation. If we don’t negotiate a settlement or win a judgment, then you do not pay us.
Per this arrangement, you:
- Can become our client regardless of your finances
- Do not have to pay us from your own pocket
- Do not have to pay us up front
- Will only pay us from winnings that we secure for you
We know you are already hurting from your boating accident. We want to help you recover financially and health-wise, and this pay structure is one way that we try to help.
We Make Your Case Based on Legal Principles
There are legal standards that govern civil lawsuits and insurance claims. We understand these standards. We know how they relate specifically to boating accident cases.
Negligence may be the relevant standard for your case. We can prove negligence in your case by:
- Establishing that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care
- Showing with evidence and documentation that this party breached their duty of care
- Proving that the breach of duty of care caused your accident
- Showing how the accident has caused your financial losses
Your lawyer will exercise any other legal standards that apply to your case. For example, the owner of a boat could be responsible for the actions of someone who they let drive the vessel. This is known as vicarious liability, per the Legal Information Institute (LII).
