Boating or Watercraft Fatalities and Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Florida

 If you have experienced the tragic loss of a family member in a boat or watercraft accident, it is wise to seek representation from a wrongful death attorney. A wrongful death lawsuit serves to hold the responsible party liable for the fatality and provide compensation for your loss. Immediately after the loss of  a loved no one is thinking about compensation. How do you compensate for such a loss?  Considering your legal options following the death of a loved one after any accident is difficult at best.

As with other lawsuits, the Florida Statutes dictates how personal injury and negligence claims are to be handled. In a boating accident, negligence must be proven. In a collision with another vessel, the operator's actions or inactions must point to negligence. See FS Chapter 768.81.
