Boating accidents, while often unexpected, can lead to serious injuries. Andrew Iacobelli of Iacobelli Law Firm discusses the importance of taking immediate steps to protect your health and legal rights if you're involved in such an incident. The first priority after any accident is seeking medical attention. Prompt medical care ensures that injuries are treated and documented, which is important for any future claims.

Many boating accidents are caused by operator negligence, including failure to follow navigational rules, speeding, or lack of proper safety equipment. In these cases, injured passengers may hesitate to file a claim due to personal relationships with the boat operator. However, most boats are insured, and claims are typically handled through the insurance company.

Understanding the laws surrounding boating accidents can be complex, as they vary depending on the body of water. Consulting a lawyer experienced in boating accidents ensures you navigate these challenges and protect your rights.
