Boat Accidents
Boat owners are legally obliged to carry public liability insurance to protect against accidents; ferry, fishing and cruise liner companies are subject to the same health and safety rules set down by the Health and Safety Executive to protect employees and customers. Leisure companies and tour operators organising excursions involving boats also have legal obligations to ensure the safety of participants. Boating accidents are diverse and can result in life-changing injuries. A head injury from a speed boat accident, for example, can be very serious and leave an individual with total dependency on his/her family. To reduce your risk of an accident:
- Always wear a life jacket on a boat
- Go out in good weather
- Make sure the boat, canoe or yacht is in good working order before using it
COMMON TYPES OF BOATING COMPENSATION
There are a large number of reasons you may wish to make a boat injury compensation claim such as;
- Two boats colliding together.
- Boat activities with individuals under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Slips, falls or trips on ferries and cruise ships.
- Food poisoning onboard ferries and cruise ships.
- Speedboats exceeding recommended limits.
- Capsizing boats.
- Poorly maintained equipment.
Amount of compensation in Boat Injury Compensation
