Frequently Asked Questions About Boat Accidents in Pensacola

First, ensure everyone’s safety and call 911. Report the incident to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) if there are injuries, death, or property damage over $2,000. Then, document everything and contact a local boat accident attorney to protect your rights.

In most personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim under Florida law. However, cases involving government vessels or wrongful death may have different time limits. It's best to consult an attorney promptly.

You may be eligible for compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional trauma

Yes. Florida follows a comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

We work on a contingency fee basis – that means you pay nothing unless we win your case. Your consultation is always free.
