How Our Attorneys Work to Win Boat Accident Cases
Schiller & Hamilton will lead every step of your boat accident case, including:
Establishing Liability
The United States Coast Guard tracks recalls for boats and boating equipment. If a dangerous or defective product caused the boat accident, the manufacturer may be liable. Other potentially liable parties include:
- A negligent boat driver
- A municipality whose negligence led to your accident
- Any other party that caused your accident or has legal liability for the accident
Rest assured that we’ll identify those who owe you compensation.
Securing All Relevant Evidence
We will secure evidence in your case by:
- Getting your account of the accident
- Interviewing witnesses
- Reconstructing the accident
- Hiring experts to testify about liability
- Securing all physical evidence
Evidence will be a key part of our settlement negotiations. Our team will complete a thorough investigation to present the strongest possible case.
Documenting Your Damages
Our firm will prove the damages you’ve suffered because of your boat accident. Documentation may include:
- Medical expenses
- Past pay stubs
