What Should I Do After Being Injured in a Boat Accident? | Mistakes to Avoid

I had a client call me the other day who wanted to know some of the common mistakes that are made in a boating accident case. One of the most important things is that they don’t get treatment for their injuries or they wait to get treatment for their injuries.

Another common mistake is that people post information about the accident or what they’ve done after the accident on social media – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. When a defense attorney gets notified of a claim, one of the first things they do is get on social media and try to find out any type of information they can about that person. If that person went out and walked on the beach after an accident, they’re going to use that information to say, “Well, that person walked 15 miles that day, so obviously they weren’t injured,” just because there’s a picture on social media. We try to get our clients to temper the amount of information that they’re sharing on social media.

I had a client who call me the other day who wanted to know how to best select a boat accident attorney. One of the most important things is to retain an attorney who sticks with your case from start to finish. They need to be able to understand the injuries all the way into how it’s affecting your daily life. That attorney can then use that knowledge as an effective negotiating tool when talking to the other side.
