Alcohol & Boating Accidents in Maryland

Boating accident cases have some similarities to other types of accidents involving motorized vehicles on land. For one thing, it seems that drinking while boating is often a factor. Injuries tend to be very serious. There are often liability issues to straighten out when two boats or a boat and a jet ski are involved.

The Jones Act May Apply

Boating accidents are also unique in that the Jones Act may apply when a boating accident occurs on a "navigable waterway" such as a river, bay or ocean (not a pond). Through the application of maritime law, we seek to maximize compensation for our clients who have been hurt in boating accidents.

We do hope that you will contact our Laurel boating accident lawyers in time to allow us to take action to preserve the evidence such as the boat itself. A detailed investigation into the causes of a boating accident is sure to have an effect on the final outcome.

Contact McGowan & Cecil, LLC After A Boat Accident Death Or Injury

Boating deaths and boating injuries should be preventable through application of good sense and judgment by boaters. Unfortunately, factors such as alcohol and speed often contribute to collisions.
