Kansas City Boating Accident Attorney

KANSAS CITY BOATING ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
Kansas City boating accidents are infrequent but do happen. There are over twelve million recreational boats registered in the United States. Typically boats are used for commercial or recreational use. Whether you are a passenger on a cruise ship, ferry boat, yacht, whale watching expedition or fishing boat, the boat owner/operator owes you a legal duty of care. If you are injured because of the negligence of the operator, owner's failure to perform maintenance, or third party's negligent act, you should contact Attorney T. Morton at 913.602.7288. 

In 2015, The United States Coast Guard reported 626 boating related deaths, 2,613 boating related injuries and 4,064 boating accidents. During that time damage to property totaled about $42 million. 

Negligence
With the increase in boat ownership, comes an increase in the odds of being injured in a Kansas, or elsewhere, boat-related accident. As noted above, the owner, operator or third party owe a duty to you. When determining liability, the court considers what another reasonable and responsible party would due in the circumstance. Failure to act reasonably and responsibly is considered a breach. Acts of negligence include: 
  • Operating a boat under the influence of alcohol (the number one contributor to boating related deaths)
  • Distracted operation 
  • Failure to have proper maintenance
  • Speeding 
  • Operator inexperience 
  • Operator inattention
The law also prohibits:
  • Jumping the wake of another too close
  • Driving in marked swimming or other prohibited areas
  • Chasing wildlife
  • Weaving through congested waterway traffic

Injuries
Like most accidents, the injuries can range from minor to major. When water is added to the equation, the possibility of unique injuries arise. Some possible injuries include:
  • Hypothermia 
  • Drowning death
  • Broken bones
  • Burns 
  • Internal organ injury
  • Laceration
  • Spinal cord injury
Injuries of this kind may: require extended hospital stays, ongoing rehabilitative therapy, personal therapy, cause permanent disfigurement, death and/or scarring. You are not alone in seeking the compensation you are entitled to because of your injury. Call Kansas Attorney T. Morton today for your free consultation at 913.602.7288 or complete this FORM.
