Texas Watercraft Accident & Boating Accident Attorney

There are lots of opportunities for fun on the water in Beaumont and throughout Texas. Lakes, rivers and beaches all offer a chance for Texans to get out in the water on jet skis, powerboats, sailboats, or other watercraft. In fact, Texas has more square miles of inland water than any other state and is among the states with the highest number of registered boats. If any trouble arises, do not hesitate to get in touch with a boating accident attorney.

Holding negligent boat operators and drivers responsible for accidents

Being out on the water isn’t always perfectly safe, unfortunately. These fun recreational activities can quickly turn tragic when operators fail to display the care and attention required to keep themselves, their passengers and others safe. If you’ve been injured in a Texas boating accident, find out if you have a right to seek money damages through a personal injury lawsuit. Contact the seasoned and knowledgeable Beaumont watercraft accident lawyers at the Gilbert Adams Law Offices for a no-cost consultation on your case.

Intoxication is often a cause of boating accidents

While you’re relaxing on the water as a passenger on a boat, you may find yourself enjoying a drink as you soak up the sun. Trouble comes in when the driver or operator of the boat is also drinking while out on the water. According to official statistics, alcohol is a factor in roughly half of all boating accidents. Drivers or operators of watercraft who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs can face criminal liability such as jail time, driver’s license suspension, and fines. Drunk boat drivers can also be held financially liable through a personal injury lawsuit.
