Brooklyn NY Boat / Ferry Accident Lawyer

Boat, Ferry, Water Taxi, and Watercraft Accident Lawyers in New York City

Boating accidents in New York City involve ferries, water taxies, cruises, boat tours, jet skiing and other recreational water activities in and around the New York waterways, including The Long Island Sound, New York Harbor, the East River, and Long Islands East End, and out into coastal Atlantic Ocean waters. The results of these watercraft accidents are often catastrophic, leading to bone fractures, severe lacerations, hypothermia, paraplegia, brain injury, carbon monoxide poisoning, and even death, often due to drowning. Many boat crashes are caused by events beyond our control, such as inclement weather, congested waters and otherwise hazardous waterways. However, in spite of these navigation and weather challenges, a responsible and properly trained boat captain or other boat operator and crew will ensure his or her vessel is properly equipped and in good working condition and will be educated and sober enough to know how to respond in the event of the unexpected. When that doesn’t happen, it can be grounds for a negligence action.
