Boating Accidents in Southwest Florida

As the hot summer days draw thousands of boaters onto our many area waterways, the risk of being involved in a serious boating accident heats up, too. With pleasure craft, personal watercraft, large yachts and commercial vessels all flying over the surf, some at high rates of speed – you have the potential for a crash on area waters. Further, most boating accidents result in significant injuries, and they are often fatal.

If you or a loved one has been in a serious accident, talk with the attorneys of Goldberg Noone Abraham. With decades of experience serving Southwest Florida, clients in a range of motorized vehicle accidents and other personal injury claims, we understand the legal process and how to get you the compensation you need.

Float Life Aboard a Boat — Fort Myers, FL — Goldberg Noone Abraham

One of the main causes of boating crashes boils down to a simple fact: the inattention and/or improper operational skills of the vessel's driver. Boaters who have not had sufficient boating safety training, a boater who makes a choice to consume alcohol while operating a boat, and the reckless operation of the boat are noted as leading reasons for a crash. Two or more boats can collide with each other, but boats that strike stationary objects cause a larger percentage of injuries. Sadly, Southwest Florida has a large percentage of the state's accidents.
