Charleston Boating Accident Attorneys
Boating, fishing and other water sports continue to grow in popularity throughout South Carolina (including the Charleston area, throughout the Low Country and across the state) and all over the United States. With more boats and personal water craft on the water, the potential for serious injuries increase dramatically. If you have been injured in a boating accident that was caused due to the negligence of another person, need an experienced personal injury lawyer that knows maritime law.
Many boating accident victims are not aware of their rights and frequently absorb significant costs that should be the responsibility of the person who caused the accident. At the Wigger Law Firm, Inc., we have extensive experience in a wide variety of boating accident cases. We will take the time to help you understand your rights and work to see that they are protected.
The Right Experience for Your Case
Our attorneys have represented clients who have suffered injuries from boat collisions, cruise liner injuries, diving accidents, propellers, ropes and jet skis. We have handled cases where the BOAT operator was boating while intoxicated and have even sued the Coast Guard when their actions have caused bodily injury and/or property damage to our clients. Many of the cases we take are governed by maritime law, which is handled in federal court. We have a complete understanding of the federal maritime process and we work diligently to protect your interests.
The owner and operator of any boat in an accident can be held liable for your injuries, even if you are just a passenger on their boat if you are hurt. If you were a passenger on a boat that was involved in an accident, there may be multiple parties who share responsibility. We will seek to hold all negligent parties accountable for the harm that has come to you and fight aggressively to obtain the compensation you deserve.
