BOAT ACCIDENTS
Cases Our Boat Accident Cases Attorneys Handle
Boating accidents are more than just bad luck—they’re often the result of preventable mistakes. Our attorneys investigate every factor behind the crash to uncover the truth and pursue full damages. Common causes include:
- Boating under the influence (BUI): Operating a boat while impaired is illegal and dangerous. Alcohol is a leading factor in fatal boating accidents.
- Speeding or reckless operation: Excessive speed, sharp turns, and wake jumping can send passengers overboard or lead to collisions.
- Operator inexperience: Many recreational boaters don’t fully understand Texas waterway rules, creating dangerous conditions for others.
- Equipment failure: Engine malfunctions, steering issues, or a lack of life jackets can quickly escalate an accident.
- Overloaded or unbalanced vessels: Too much weight or uneven loading increases the risk of capsizing or swamping.
Common Boat Accident Scenarios:
- Collisions between two watercraft
- Passengers thrown from vessels due to sudden turns or wakes
- Jet ski accidents involving inexperienced or underage operators
- Capsizing from overloading or rough waters
- Drownings due to lack of life jackets or impaired reaction times

Consequences You Might Face After a Boating Accident in Austin
When a recreational boat, jet ski, or rental vessel crashes or capsizes, the impact can cause severe injuries, emotional trauma, and costly property losses—often with long recovery times.
Boat accidents frequently involve blunt-force impacts from collisions, falls, or being thrown against hard surfaces. Victims may suffer concussions, skull fractures, or brain trauma that lead to memory loss, dizziness, migraines, and long-term cognitive issues requiring ongoing neurological care.
High-speed crashes or being tossed overboard can cause serious spinal damage, including whiplash, herniated discs, or even paralysis. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are key to minimizing lifelong disability.
Arms, legs, and joints are vulnerable during watercraft accidents—especially if struck by propellers or crushed during capsizing. Broken bones, torn ligaments, and nerve damage can limit mobility and impact your ability to work or enjoy daily activities.
Many survivors of boat accidents experience lasting emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These invisible injuries are just as serious as physical trauma and deserve full consideration in your injury claim.
Property damage
Boating accidents often result in destroyed personal items such as phones, cameras, or fishing gear. If your boat or watercraft is damaged or totaled, you may face steep repair or replacement costs—along with rental or transportation expenses while your vessel is out of commission.
LEGAL ADVICE
How Our Austin Boat Accident Attorneys Help
Boating accidents often involve overlapping jurisdictions, unclear liability, and insurance complications. Dang Law Group cuts through the confusion with a streamlined legal approach designed to get results.
We explain how Texas maritime laws, personal injury statutes, and boating regulations apply to your case. You’ll understand exactly what damages we can seek—medical costs, lost wages, future care, and more.
Our legal team obtains marine patrol reports, witness statements, medical records, and any available GPS or boat rental data. We reconstruct the scene to show how negligence led to your injuries.
From insurance claims to legal filings, we take care of all documentation and deadlines. Our team communicates in plain English or Spanish and keeps you updated every step of the way.
Insurers often try to minimize payouts by blaming victims or offering low settlements. We push back with facts, expert opinions, and clear valuations of your losses.
If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re ready to go to court. Our litigators present compelling evidence, cross-examine negligent parties, and advocate for maximum compensation in front of a judge or jury.
