Texas Boating Accident Lawyers

When You Have Been Injured in a Water-Related Accident

In a study by the United States Coast Guard in 2009, there were nearly 5,000 reported recreational boating accidents, including more than 700 deaths. The clear majority of those deaths involved small watercraft (boats less than 21 feet in length accounted for about 70 percent of all drowning deaths). In most instances, the serious injury and death resulted from the negligence or carelessness of the person operating the boat.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a boating accident, or if a family member has died in a recreational watercraft mishap, you want an experienced attorney to help you seek full and fair compensation for all your losses. Bailey & Galyen can help.

We will aggressively protect your interests in all matters, from depositions to settlement meeting to trial proceedings.

Experienced Texas Watercraft Accident Attorneys

Because of our considerable experience, we know what to look for when you have been injured in a boating accident. We will listen carefully to learn exactly what happened to cause your accident, looking specifically for such contributing factors as:

• Operator inattention
• Operator inexperience
• The presence of alcohol or use of alcohol by the person operating the boat
• The rate of speed at which the boat was being operated
• Whether there was a proper lookout on the boat, so that the person operating the boat could be aware of other boats, or any potential safety risks

We take boating accident injury claims involving all types of injuries, from cuts, bruises and sprains to serious and catastrophic loss, such as brain or spinal cord injury, paralysis, broken bones, and amputation or loss of limb. We also represent surviving family members in wrongful death claims. We represent people who have been injured in any type of watercraft-related accident, whether as boat operators, passengers, water skiers or swimmers.

We take claims involving any type of watercraft, from powerboats to sailboats to Waverunners or Jetskis.
