HARRIS LAW GROUP Files Lawsuit and Obtains $275,000 For Boat Crash

The crash happened at night following a holiday light parade. Our client noticed a vessel approaching his boat at a high rate of speed. He had no time to get out of the way before the other vessel crashed into the side of his boat. Our client suffered several spinal disc herniations and required medical treatment for neck and back pain.

The other operator’s radar had failed, and we alleged that he failed to maintain a proper lookout while navigating his boat through the channel. 

The insurance company disputed liability and the extent of our client’s injuries, pointing to the limited property damage to the boat and claiming that our client could have avoided the collision.

We ultimately negotiated a settlement of $275,000 on behalf of our client.
