    Common Causes of Boating Accidents in New York

    Boating accidents can happen in New York whether you’re on a personal watercraft or while you’re on a ferry. Common causes of personal boating accidents in New York include:

    • Bad weather conditions.
      If inclement weather is coming, you shouldn’t take your personal boat onto the water. It’s important that you protect yourself.
    • Unexpected bad weather or waves.
      Sometimes, unexpected bad weather or large waves can cause a boating accident. Before you go out on the water, make sure that your boat has the proper safety equipment on board. Ferries should also have proper safety equipment.
    • Driving a boat at the wrong speed.
      Driving a boat too fast or even too slow can put you or other people in danger. Driving a boat too fast can cause a boating accident because the boat is unable to slow down in the event of a problem. Driving a boat too slow can mean that you’re hit by another boat.
    • Driving while intoxicated.
      Just because a boat isn’t operated on the road doesn’t mean that it’s legal to drink while operating the boat. Driving while intoxicated is against the law even on the water.
    • Mechanical failures and fires.
      Sometimes boating accidents happen and they’re not the fault of the driver. When mechanical failures happen, the boat can malfunction. A fire may break out. This can be extremely dangerous if you’re out on the water alone or even with your family or friends

      Despite the reason for hiring them, I fell and broke my wrist, this was a very supportive and believe it or not great experience. I felt cared about and was always kept informed of the process. I highly recommend them. Great people.

      My experience with Denlea & Carton was exceptional, and a huge part of that was due to Alejandra, their paralegal. She was absolutely wonderful – so caring and compassionate throughout the entire process. Beyond just being professional, Alejandra became like a sister to me. Her consistent communication and genuine support made a difficult time much easier. I am incredibly grateful to have her on my side. Thank you!

      I’ve heard many lawyers advertise on tv that they can recover more money than what the insurance company initially offers, but how many of them actually do! Fortunately for me, I chose Denlea & Carton based on their lawyers’ backgrounds and experience, and not on some catchy jingle or flashy tv ad. I’m glad I did. I was offered $35,000 for my slip and fall case, but I ultimately recovered $350,000—ten times the amount the insurance carrier proposed. Thank you Denlea & Carton for a job well done!

      Mis abogados fueron increíbles. Desempeñaron un papel crucial para ayudarme a comprender las acciones de mis médicos y explicaron de manera efectiva cómo se transmitiría mi tratamiento a un jurado. Esta información fue invaluable para ilustrar cómo se presentaría mi caso en la corte, lo que me dio confianza en el proceso. Estuve muy contento de trabajar con ellos.

      I had no idea how ruthless the insurance companies and defense lawyers would be after my car accident. My attorneys at Denlea & Carton were my champions. They took the time to explain the process from the very beginning, and were by my side every step of the way. Having them fight for me, and help me to explain the feelings I was struggling to express, was life changing. I am forever grateful for their compassion, help and toughness.

      Just a quick shout out to my paralegal, Allie, who helped me more than she knows. Allie was present during my Independent Medical Examination (IME). In the weeks prior, my attorney had prepared me extensively for this assessment. Feeling more confident on the day of the exam, and knowing I wasn't alone, was reassuring. The case was settled shortly after, but it was the constant support from my legal team that I will never forget.
