Compensation For Boating Injuries in Minnesota

attorney /

There are more than 10,000 lakes here in the great state of Minnesota, so it’s no surprise that boating is one of the more common summer activities. Going for a cruise or waterskiing on the lake can be a fun way to pass the time, but each year thousands of Minnesotans suffer injuries due to boating accidents. If you’ve been injured while driving or riding in a boat, consider talking to an attorney about your compensation options.

Boating Injury Compensation

There are a number of different ways in which an accident can occur on the water that would allow you to seek compensation. Examples of eligible claims or boating claims that we’ve handled include accidents where:

  • Driver strikes stationary object
  • Boat collisions
  • Alcohol-related crashes or distracted drivers
  • Reckless driver causes injury to passengers or person they are pulling behind the boat
  • Slipping and falling while on a boat, or while entering or exiting
  • Boating equipment failure
  • Struck by boat or motor

As you can see, there are a number of different types of boating accidents that can be compensable under Minnesota injury law. However, in order to collect compensation, you’re going to need to prove a number of different factors, including contributory negligence, the presence of injuries, the extent of your injuries and much more. The best way to do this is with an experienced legal team like Margolis Law Firm.
