What damages can be recovered from a boating accident?
Boating accident victims may recover for similar compensatory damages as any other personal injury or auto accident victim. These include medical expenses, lost wages and loss of earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering if the accident was due to the negligence of another person or boater. Each boat owner and operator has the duty to exercise the highest degree of caution and care during operation of the watercraft in order to avoid any injuries.
