Boating accidents in Ontario – Secure your care and compensation
During the summer months, our lakes are teeming with motorboats, sailboats and personal watercraft. Unfortunately, hundreds of people are seriously or fatally injured on Ontario’s waters in boating mishaps every year. Worse yet, many of these boating accident victims fail to receive the care and compensation they’re entitled to.
People who suffer serious injuries in boating accidents often can make claim for pain and suffering. In addition, compensation is available for financial losses such as loss of income and treatment and rehabilitation costs. It is possible to recover more than $1,000,000 against the operator of a boat, in instances where the boat is operated in a reckless manner and the boat operator knew that his or her recklessness would likely lead to injury.
If you’ve been injured in a boating accident, call 1-866-269-2481 for a free consultation and learn how we can help you secure your care and compensation, risk-free.
