Whether you were injured as a passenger in a boat that was operated negligently or in another boat, we can assist you with recovering damages for your suffering. Boating accidents can cause terrible personal injuries and wrongful death. The lack of regulation and licensing allows many inexperienced and young people to get behind the controls of a boat. Even more than automobiles, alcohol consumption is more and more commonplace in a pleasure watercraft. This combination results in horrific injuries for passengers, swimmers and other boaters. If you need an experienced personal injury trial law specialist to assist you following a boating accident, contact Michael P. Fleming or the other Houston injury lawyers at Michael P.

The boat accident injury lawyers at Michael P. Fleming & Associates accept all forms of watercraft injury cases including those involving power boats, jet skis, wave runners, water ski boats and others. Boat accidents can be caused by a variety of factors including:
- Intoxication
- Inexperience
- Excessive Speed
- Inadequate Supervision
- Inattention
- Violation of Regulations
Many times, boating accidents are caused by an intoxicated operator. Not only is it illegal to operate a boat while intoxicated, the injuries inflicted in a crash can cause devastating injuries and death. This can also result in the demand and award of punitive damages as in a DWI accident. Often, the owner of the boat can be liable for the negligent actions of the operator if they negligently entrust the boat to another person.
