South Florida’s warm climate and year-round sunshine make boating, jet skiing and water skiing popular all year-round.  But, unfortunately, it also increases the danger of serious personal injury that can involve complex legal and safety issues.

The law requires the owner and operator of a boat to use care in the operation of their watercraft. In some cases, the proper care isn't exercised to prevent injuries and death to others. Collisions with other boats or watercraft are the most common cause of serious injury and death in boating accidents, and can often be avoided when the proper care is taken.

There are strict time limitations on your opportunity to seek lawful compensation for you injuries or loss. 
Lawsuits for wrongful death must be filed within 2 years of the date of the accident that caused the death, and most governmental agencies that require you to put the agency on notice of your claim within 3 years of the accident. The attorneys at Bogani and Robes, PLLC, with years of experience representing those injured on the water, understand these legal limitations.

If you feel you or a loved one has been injured or killed due to the negligence of the operators or another watercraft, you should consult with a lawyer immediately to learn your legal rights.
