What Will an Attorney Do to Help a Flagstaff Boat Accident Claim?

Boat accident claims need to be handled differently than other types of personal injury cases. Specifically, there are typically various parties that need to be investigated after these incidents occur. This can include the person who was operating the boat when the crash occurred as well as the owner or operator of the vessel.

A skilled Flagstaff boat accident attorney can use their resources to obtain all evidence needed to prove liability. This can include:

  • Any training records or certifications of the operator
  • Maintenance and inspection records of the boat
  • Statements from eyewitnesses
  • Photo or video surveillance of the incident
  • Law enforcement accident reports

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Boat Accident Claim?

Data provided by the U.S. Coast Guard gives us a good indication of how boat accidents arise in and around the Flagstaff area. Each year, the Coast Guard evaluates all reported boat accidents and their determined causes. During the latest reporting year, the top ten causes of boating crashes across the country included the following:

  • Operator inattention
  • Improper lookout
  • Operator inexperience
  • Excessive speed
  • Alcohol use
  • Machinery failure
  • Navigation rules violation
  • Inclement weather
  • Hazardous waters
  • The force of wave or wake

Unfortunately, boat accidents often result in severe injuries for those involved. The reality is that most boat passengers are not restrained, and this can lead to them being tossed around violently anytime an incident occurs. In some cases, boaters are thrown overboard as a result of an accident.
