A drunken boat operator, an unfenced swimming pool or a distracted lifeguard can be the cause of wrongful death and terrible grief to the victim's family. At the Greenberg & Stone law firm, our attorneys have the compassion to listen to families and the determination to litigate against those who cause wrongful death.
- There are rules for operating boats just as there are rules for driving a car. When negligent boat operation causes an accident and wrongful death, the operator should be held accountable. Dangerously high speed, sudden turns that throw people off the boat, over-running swimmers and collisions with other boats or with bridges and pilings can be causes of wrongful death.
- Was a loved one killed in a BWI (boating while intoxicated) accident? Intoxicated boat owners can cause terrible damage when they fail to exercise appropriate caution. Alcoholic beverages and daytrips on boats tend to go hand-in-hand but they need to be enjoyed responsibly. When intoxicated boat owners fail to exercise the appropriate level of caution, they can cause terrible damage and even death.
- A swimming pool with no fence can be an attractive nuisance to a toddler or others who may fall into the unprotected filled pool and drown. Loosing sight of a young child, even for just a second, can lead to a horrific drowning incident. An unfilled pool with no protective cover can also prove hazardous, turning a trip and fall into a deadly accident.
- Speeding Jet-skis can present a hazard on lakes, river and bays everywhere in the country. A careless or drunk driver can crash into other watercraft or into groups of swimmers.
