Liability and Damages in Louisiana Boat Accident Claims
At the Charbonnet Law Firm, we represent local and out-of-state clients in personal injury and wrongful death litigation resulting from recreational boating accidents. For a free consultation about your legal options in the aftermath of a boat accident, contact one of our offices in New Orleans and Metairie.
While most boat accident claims will be resolved under Louisiana negligence law, our familiarity with federal admiralty jurisdiction and maritime law allows us to investigate and evaluate your case for the possibility of a federal claim. We'll advise you as to the advantages and disadvantages of every legal alternative we present. Our recommendations will always be based on what's best for you and your family under your own unique circumstances, and our overall goal is to maximize the value of your personal injury or wrongful death claim.
Our attorneys advise and represent clients with boat accident claims involving small craft and personal watercraft such as the following:
- Sea-Doos, Jet Skis, or Waverunners
- Bass boats and other fishing boats
- Water ski boats
- Cabin cruisers and runabouts
- Pirogues, canoes and other bayou boats
- Scuba diving accidents
- Spear fishing accidents
Whether your accident occurred along the Gulf, on the Mississippi, on Lake Pontchartrain or on a Louisiana bayou, our lawyers have the experience with boat accident claims that can help you recover the compensation you need for medical expenses, time away from work, and pain and suffering.
We not only work toward the resolution of your legal claims on favorable terms, we also work closely with you and your family to make sure that you have everything you need in terms of diagnostics and testing, medical care and rehabilitative services.
