BOATING ACCIDENTS: COMMON INJURIES​

Drowning is by far the greatest risk to a person involved in a boating accident, particularly if they are not wearing a life jacket. While those that survive boating accidents face other serious medical issues such as cardiac arrest, hypothermia, and carbon monoxide poisoning, traumatic physical injuries are the most common and include:

  • Spinal Injuries
  • Abdominal Injuries
  • Closed Head Injuries
  • Spinal Fractures
  • Appendicular Skeletal Fractures
  • Neurological Injuries

If the accident was the result of a person, company, or government organization, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Call the CT boating accident lawyers at Marin and Barrett, Inc. at 203-285-8167 today, there is no obligation and we don’t get paid unless you get paid.

WHAT DAMAGES ARE AVAILABLE TO VICTIMS OF BOATING ACCIDENTS?

If you have been injured in a boating accident in Connecticut you may be entitled to damages through a lawsuit or settlement. Connecticut law will allow you to recover the following damages:

ECONOMIC DAMAGES

  • Medical expenses, including past, present, and future bills
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages, both from missed work and missed future earning potential
  • Household bills
  • Transportation costs

NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES

  • Pain and suffering
  • Anxiety and post-traumatic stress (emotional distress)
  • Loss of companionship or consortium
  • Lifestyle impairment

In the most tragic cases boating accidents can result in death. Of course there is no amount of money that can bring a loved one back or fill the void left by their absence. Nevertheless, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim to recover funeral expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.

On these types of cases it is often helpful to work closely with expert witnesses to ensure that your injuries and damages are valued fully.
