Boating Accidents

Attorneys experienced with boat and watercraft injuries

If you or a loved one have been injured in any kind of boating accident as a passenger, deckhand, commuter, or recreational boater on a boat or any other watercraft, you may need an experienced Boston personal injury attorney from the law firm of Alford & Bertrand. Our attorneys are experienced with accidents on both highways and waterways, from those involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles to those involving boats and other water vessels. We represent clients injured in work-related boating accidents aboard fishing or container ships as well as recreational boaters.

Boating accidents can include a variety of boats and watercraft such as:

  • Container / Cargo ships
  • Sailboats
  • Ferries and water taxis
  • Fishing boats
  • Charter boats (tours, fishing charters)
  • Racing shell, wherry of sculling accidents
  • Cruise ships
  • Jet skis
  • Waverunners
  • Other personal watercraft

Most seamen and maritime professionals know that federal admiralty laws often offer better protection to people injured in boating accidents than the local Massachusetts negligence and personal injury laws. In some cases, the federal maritime laws also cover recreational boaters injured in boating accidents. Each case is different, and you will need an attorney experienced with Boston boating accident injury claims. Our attorneys will evaluate your case to determine if federal maritime law will cover your claims, or if your case falls under local law, to get you the compensation you deserve for your boating accident injuries.

If you have been injured in a boating accident, please call our office at 888-361-1693 or contact us to discuss your case. There is no charge to have an attorney evaluate your case. For your convenience, evening and Saturday appointments are available.
