What Should I Do If I Am Involved
In A Boating Accident?
Boating accidents usually require a report to either
the state agency regulating boats or to the United States Coast
Guard or both. If an operator is involved in a collision with
another boat or an "allision" (which means striking
a fixed object or a non-moving vessel), he or she should immediately
contact the state agency regulating boats to ascertain if any
type of report is required. Failure to remain on the scene, render
aid, and report the boating accident to an appropriate law enforcement
agency in a timely manner is a crime. If someone was injured
or extensive property damage was incurred be sure to contact
your insurance company. If someone else was responsible for the
collision contact us as soon as possible.
What You Need To Know:
Insurance companies' obligations are to their stockholders and
policy holders, not to the people injured by their insured's
negligence. Insurance companies' desire to maximize their own
profits provides them with every motivation to try to deny your
claim or pay you the very minimum amount that they can get away
with. The insurance companies also have enormous advantages:
they have immense wealth, armies of experienced adjusters and
lawyers and years of experience reducing and denying claims.
