Our law firm advises and represents accident victims in boating collisions involving two or more vessels as well as single-vessel accidents. We handle cases involving injuries ranging from simple fractures to severe brain or back injuries. We also represent the families of persons killed in fatal accidents.
Different accidents involve different problems of proof and causation. We can handle cases involving such vessels as:
- Day cruisers
- Ski boats
- Fishing boats, including deep-sea charters
- Sailboats from Sunfish to racing sloops
- Personal watercraft such as Jet Skis and Waverunners
Depending on how and where your boating accident occurred, you will probably have the option of filing your lawsuit under New York state negligence law or federal maritime law. As a former member of the Suffolk County Bar Association's Maritime Law Committee, Anthony Parlatore is familiar with the practice and procedures under the admiralty jurisdiction, and can explain how your case might be better off in state or federal court, as the case may be.
Many boat accidents involve alcohol and Boating While Intoxicated charges
Our law firm also handles injury claims against drunk boaters, whether or not a BWI conviction was obtained against the guilty party. In some situations, our clients encounter as much trouble with their own insurers as they do with the other boater's. We can help with those cases, too.
