Peoria Boat Accident Lawyer

When a vessel capsizes or hits another object, it can be quite dangerous and cause significant injuries to surrounding people and property. You may qualify to advocate for your rights under Arizona law when harmed because of a distracted boat operator, manufacturing defect, or other form of negligence in this type of situation. Seeking compensation for your lost income, medical bills, and more could be possible if you can prove someone else carries some or all of the fault for the incident.

A Peoria boat accident lawyer at the Phillips Law Group could help you champion your case in court. We are fierce advocates for those hurt because of someone else’s actions or inactions. Our dedicated personal injury attorneys are ready to help see you through the process of taking legal action.

Situations Where Adverse Maritime Events Might Occur

Many forms of negligence and outside factors such as inclement weather can combine to harm unsuspecting passengers, boat operators, swimmers, and others on or near the water. For example, someone might leave out tackle or equipment on the vessel, leading a passenger to trip, fall, and hurt their head, arms, or legs. If the impact makes the person lose consciousness and careen into the water, they are also at risk of drowning.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

Likewise, partygoers may drink too much alcohol or consume intoxicating substances before going to the lake. Because of this, they might make poor decisions (such as ignoring weather or maritime advisories) that increase the chance of someone getting hurt. Additionally, defects and flaws in the craft itself may lead to it sinking or failing to work properly, resulting in injuries. Our Peoria attorneys could create a possible strategy in the aftermath of an incident involving a canoe, kayak, fishing boat, or other maritime vessel.

Seeking Legal Damages for Injuries Occurring on a Lake, Creek, or River

People harmed while on the water may qualify to pursue legal damages if they meet the legal requirements to do so. For example, under Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-542, the injured person may have two years to bring a lawsuit against the boat operator or third-party responsible for their injuries. However, this time may be shorter or longer depending on certain criteria including the severity of injuries, the age of the injured, and whether a government entity is involved. There may be additional requirements depending on other factors of an accident. Working with a Peoria watercraft accident attorney is the best way to ensure all deadlines are met and that any requirements are fulfilled.

When a case is successful, the courts could award an injured person compensation for the economic and non-economic impacts of the accident. Economic damages are those that reimburse for the financial losses a person sustains such as property damage, past and future medical expenses, and lost wages. Non-economic damages are more subjective and include payments for things like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and a loss of enjoyment of life.

Our team is prepared to review the available evidence and use our knowledge of the law to create the best possible legal recommendations for a specific circumstance. By trusting in a lawyer with invaluable experience in these scenarios, an injured person could create space to focus on the healing process. Additionally, while most personal injury firms are more concerned with taking insurance settlements, our firm is not afraid to fight in court for what is truly needed when negotiations do not yield the desired outcome.
