Looking Out For Boat Accident Victims And Their Families

Boating and other water activities are favorite pastimes in Missouri and Kansas. The operators of boats, personal watercraft or anything else you can put in the water all have a responsibility to make safety their top priority. When people get careless and accidents happen, it puts the lives of innocent people at serious risk of injury or death.

Common Injuries Suffered In Boating Accidents

Injuries suffered in boating accidents are often incredibly serious and can include:

  • Serious head injuries

  • Lacerations
  • Broken bones

Injuries can result in serious scarring and disfigurement in addition to nerve damage and paralysis in some cases.
