What types of boating accidents does Richmond Vona handle?

Whether you’re boating on Lake Erie or Lake Ontario, you’re not immune from boating accidents. In fact, we see many different types of incidents out on the water.

The number one cause of boating accidents is people operating their boats while intoxicated. Boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol is, unfortunately, the most common situation we encounter. These accidents can happen in a variety of settings—out on open water, in a cove when people are trying to anchor, while pulling up to a restaurant, or when docking the boat.

When people are intoxicated, they often cause injuries. We also see very serious boating accidents, especially in the middle of the night, when operators don’t have the proper lighting or the necessary safety equipment on board.

There are many ways these accidents occur, and they can result in severe injuries. That’s why it’s so important that if you’re injured in a boating accident, you contact a law firm like ours with the experience to handle these cases effectively.
