Florida is the ideal environment for boats and cruises. Whether they’re fishing, waterskiing or setting off on an international voyage, locals and tourists alike flock to the beaches in Bonita Springs for fun and relaxation out on the water. However, operating a boat or going on a cruise isn’t without its risks. Florida had 735 boat accidents in 2022, resulting in countless injuries and 65 fatalities. These tragic accidents are made even more difficult for the victim and their loved ones by the uphill legal battle many face to receive fair compensation.

While boat accident claims can function similarly to vehicle accident claims, cruise accidents are more complicated since they often take place on international waters. Insurance companies and large corporate interests also have a massive legal army behind them and are willing to use high-priced defense attorneys to intimidate victims seeking fair recovery for their legitimate injuries. The insurance company’s ultimate goal is to defend their client’s negligent behavior to save their profits.
