Boating and jetskiing are favorite pastimes on Missouri and Kansas waterways, but accidents happen there just as on the roadways. Driving in the wrong lane, driving recklessly, boating under the influence, or not yielding the right of way can cause serious accidents.

  • Gathering evidence: Boating accidents do not leave the skid marks and debris that help determine what happened in a highway accident. It is critical to talk to witnesses as soon as possible to understand the events that led to the accident. Our personal injury attorneys have the experience to interview witnesses and sort out the available facts.
  • BUI accidents: Just as on the roadway, boating under the influence can cause serious injuries and wrongful death. The drunk driver is subject to the same criminal charges and financial liability as a drunk car driver. If a loved one has been injured because of a BUI accident, contact a personal injury lawyer.
  • Establish liability: Who caused the accident? Was the boat's owner the driver? Did the boat's owner allow an impaired or unskilled person to drive? Were waterway rules followed? In our investigation, our law firm will seek to establish liability in order to present a personal injury claim.
