Whether you’re in Louisiana, Texas, or anywhere else in the country, RUDIN LAW is ready to take on those responsible for your boating injuries and get you the justice and compensation you deserve. So if you’ve been hurt on a boat, we say: it’s time to stop being polite… and GET RUDE.
Boating accidents can occur in many different ways:
Despite measures in place designed to protect boaters, accidents can still occur for reasons similar to those that cause car crashes, such as:
Texas: According to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, in 2019, the Coast Guard counted 4,168 recreational boating accidents that involved 613 deaths, 2,559 injuries and approximately $55 million dollars of damage to property.
There are many factors that determine the deadline by which you must file your boating accident lawsuit. The deadline to file will depend upon whether your claim falls under state or federal jurisdiction. Because the governing law is complex, it would be impossible to determine if your deadline has passed without speaking to a qualified attorney – and we highly recommend you do so.
In Louisiana, you must report accidents causing injury, death, or over $500 in property damage.
Take photos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, and any relevant signage or landmarks
