What Entails Negligence in Boating Accident Law in Deschutes County, Oregon?

Just because you were injured in a boating accident doesn’t necessarily mean someone was negligent. We will have to prove that the boater who injured you acted recklessly to prove negligence and liability. Proving negligence means we can collect monetary compensation for your outstanding medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. 

To prove negligence in a boating accident lawsuit, we’ll have to look at some of the following components of the case to determine the extent of a boater’s liability:

• The operator of a boat failed to adhere to safety guidelines and laws
• The operator failed to maintain their boat properly
• The boater did not exercise reasonable care while operating the boat
• The boater did not warn passengers or other boaters about hazardous conditions
• The boater created too large of a wake for the conditions

There are far more circumstances that can arise during a boating accident that we can use to prove negligence. When you contact us, we will gather all material evidence in your case, speak to any appropriate witnesses, and gather testimony from experts.
