When a Day on the Water Turns Dangerous

Boating should be about freedom, not fear. But when someone’s carelessness turns the Delaware or Schuylkill into a crash site, the consequences can be catastrophic. From speeding boaters to drunk operators, many waterway accidents come down to the same issue: someone chose not to take safety seriously.

At Kwartler Manus, our boat accident attorneys in Philadelphia act immediately after a boating accident. Our attorneys know maritime and state laws inside and out, and we move fast to collect evidence before it disappears on the water. Whether your accident happened in Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, or any Pennsylvania lake, we’ll fight to make sure the negligent party pays for the harm they caused.

Common Causes of Boating Accidents

Boating accidents happen for many of the same reasons as car crashes, but with even higher risk and less protection. The most common causes we see include:

  • Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Distracted or reckless boat handling
  • Inexperienced or unlicensed operators
  • Speeding or ignoring navigation rules
  • Overloading passengers or equipment
  • Defective boat parts or poor maintenance

Every one of these mistakes represents a failure of responsibility. When someone’s carelessness puts lives in danger, we hold them accountable in full.

The Injuries Boaters Suffer

Boat collisions and water-related accidents can cause devastating injuries. Victims often face long recoveries, permanent disability, or the unthinkable loss of a loved one.

We’ve represented clients suffering from:

  • Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones and deep lacerations
  • Near-drowning and oxygen loss
  • Severe burns from fuel or engine explosions
  • Amputations and crush injuries
  • Wrongful death

When you’re facing medical bills, lost income, and trauma from the event, you deserve more than sympathy; you deserve justice.

Determining Who’s Responsible

Boating accidents often involve multiple parties. Our attorneys investigate every angle to determine fault and find every possible source of compensation. Depending on the facts, we may pursue claims against:

  • The negligent boat operator
  • The owner of the vessel
  • Rental or charter companies that failed to maintain safety
  • Manufacturers of defective parts or equipment
  • Other passengers or operators who contributed to the accident

We move fast to document the scene, interview witnesses, and recover critical data like GPS logs, maintenance records, and operator statements. Evidence disappears quickly after a boat crash; we make sure it doesn’t.

Compensation for Boat Accident Victims

A boating accident can cost more than physical injuries; it can disrupt your career, your stability, and your future. Our team fights for full compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses and ongoing rehabilitation
  • Lost wages or earning potential
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Property damage or lost personal items
  • Long-term care or wrongful death damages

We don’t accept quick settlements. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, because that’s how real results are won.
