Lafayette Lawyer for Boat Accidents and Injuries
Maritime law covers all injuries and accidents that take place on navigable waters on a tugboat, crew boat, supply vessel, barge, lift boat, offshore oil rig, recreational boat, fishing boat or other seafaring vessel. Anyone who has been out on the Gulf of Mexico knows that its traffic can seem just as busy as that traveling on I-49 or the Atchafalaya Bridge. Accidents can happen on the high seas just as they can happen on the highway.
The accident may have been caused by a vessel accident, a vessel collision, a boat accident or a drunk driver (DUI: Operating a Watercraft Under the Influence). Sometimes the boat or vessel operator simply did not see the smaller boat. Sometimes a larger vessel with many workers aboard may experience unsafe sea conditions while transporting personnel.
An attorney who understands the nature of your injury can help you file a claim, help you build a case and follow through with it. There are many details to attend to and curve balls that can be thrown your way in cases like these. An experienced lawyer and his team can help.
