Gathering evidence in a boating accident case can present special challenges. Not all boating accidents are clear-cut. Larger boats have electronic navigational equipment where we can secure the data. Commercial boats have “black boxes,” similar to airplanes and commercial trucks. Smaller vessels usually do not have such sophisticated devices.

That is where an experienced attorney at Pazer, Epstein & Jaffe, P.C. Attorneys at Law comes in to help you following a boating accident. We have the experience and network of experts to reconstruct the accident from the available data. This includes review of weather conditions and careful investigation to identify the boat on the starboard track. We will analyze damage to the boat or boats, using expert witnesses as needed to pursue your boating accident case. Wherever possible, we will call eyewitnesses as well, to provide first hand information.

Jurisdiction could become an issue if the accident is subject to maritime law. If there is a question in your mind about this, it is best to contact us immediately after the accident. No matter who has jurisdiction in the case, you need aggressive representation if you suffered serious injuries in a boating accident.
