What Should I Do Immediately After A Boat Crash?

We understand that the aftermath of a boat collision or other form of accident can feel overwhelming. If you can, try to follow these steps to make your claim stronger:

1. Seek medical attention immediately.
2. Call 911 to have them write an accident report.
3. Get the name and insurance information of the other boat driver and any witnesses, including any other people on the boat.
4. Take photos of the damage to your boat and the other boat.
5. Take photos of your injuries.
6. Do not speak with any insurance representatives unless you have an attorney.

A lawyer can provide additional advice specific to your situation. If you complete the aforementioned steps, you can give yourself a much better chance of recovering compensation.

How Long Does It Take To Receive A Boating Accident Settlement?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Some settlements take place within months. Others can take a year or more. If the insurance company does not make a fair offer, negotiating a better settlement takes extensive time. A trial can take even longer.
