The sunshine state upholds an outstanding reputation for its beautiful beaches, laid back atmosphere and countless recreational activities. Among those interests, boating remains one of the most favored pastimes between locals and visitors to Delray Beach.
Unfortunately, an injury in a boating accident caused by another party’s negligence is not uncommon in Florida. Operator inattention, excessive speeding, operator inexperience and machinery failure are all leading contributors to the number of boat and jet ski accidents each year.
If you or a loved one suffered injuries and/or loss of life from a motor boat accident after a day at sea, it’s time to discuss your legal options with a knowledgeable boat accident lawyer. Contact our team today to learn about the process of filing a boat accident claim.
Wrongful Death Boat Accidents: Negligence of any kind can lead to a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida. Boating under the influence of alcohol/drugs and excessive speeding tend to be the main causes of wrongful death boat accidents.
Many things can transpire in the moments following a boat accident. However, the first thing you should do is evaluate whether you or anyone else involved in the boating accident requires immediate medical attention or first aid assistance.
Operator inattention, excessive speed, operator inexperience and machinery failure are the most common causes of boat and jet ski accidents in Delray Beach.
Passengers on board with an inexperienced operator are the most susceptible victims of boating accidents. In fact, the U.S. Coast Guard reports nearly 77 percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator had not received proper safety instructions.
Florida law requires a written report within 48 hours to state authorities when a boating accident occurs. If the boating accident resulted in bodily injury beyond first aid, one or more deaths and/or missing persons, authorities must be informed immediately.
Any property damage above $2,000 or more requires mandatory reporting under Florida boating regulations. Though the extent of damage may vary, the threshold amount must include any destruction to the boat, nearby structures, and personal property around and/or on the vessel.

For injuries on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of injury under Fla. Stat. §95.11. Injuries before that date may fall under the prior four-year deadline. Wrongful death carries a separate two-year deadline from the date of death.
Yes, as long as you are found 50% or less at fault. Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule reduces your recovery by your share of fault; more than 50% at fault bars recovery entirely.
Longer than most clients expect, and for good reason. Building an accurate life-care plan, completing expert analysis, and applying the right pressure takes time. I give you an honest timeline in our first meeting.
Nothing upfront. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you. Case costs are advanced by the firm and recovered from the settlement or verdict.
Local knowledge matters. I know the Palm Beach County courts, the local adjusters, and the defense firms that handle these cases in South Florida. I also handle cases throughout Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
We pursue every available source: your own underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, umbrella policies, and any third-party defendants whose negligence contributed. See also our Florida Car Accident Insurance Claims Guide.
