Watercraft Accidents
Watercraft accidents maim or kill thousands of victims in Texas each year. These accidents are often caused by poor judgment, collisions, faulty parts, or the influence of drugs or alcohol. Boats and other watercraft are often used for recreational purposes and deaths are often caused by falling overboard and being injured or killed by the blow from the hull or lacerations from an unguarded propeller. The recreational nature of watercraft accidents makes them particularly catastrophic and painful for families involved.
Watercraft accidents can cause very serious injuries such as sprains, herniated and ruptured discs, fractures, knee injuries, paralysis, amputations and brain damage. Despite the risks involved, many watercraft owners ignore safety precautions and behave in ways that are hazardous to themselves and those around them. With more boats and faster boats in the water, it appears likely that watercraft accidents will become even more commonplace in the future. As an avid boater, a former water ski instructor and an experienced maritime lawyer, Chris Parks has the background, experience and first hand knowledge to litigate boat and propeller injuries, maritime collisions and other types of marine accidents.
If you or someone you care about has been involved in a watercraft accident, it is imperative that you understand your legal rights. Chris Parks, P.C. can help your family obtain the resources you deserve from those responsible for your accident. Don’t let Texas statutes of limitations expire before you get the justice that you are entitled to.
