Filing A Boating Accident Claim

If you were injured in a boat accident in Nevada, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. For property damage, the deadline extends to three years. Missing these deadlines could mean losing your right to compensation, so it’s important to act quickly.

Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, future treatment and care, lost wages, reduced earning ability, and pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

The sooner you get started, the better your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve.

What To Do After

If you’ve been injured in a boating accident, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your claim for compensation:

Call 911

Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.

Save All Evidence

Take photo and video of the scene. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced.

Seek Medical Attention

A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim

Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions

Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.

Report the Accident

If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report.

Contact a Lawyer

Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one.

Journal

Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.

Limit Social Media

Refrain from posting about your incident—anything posted online could impact your claim.

Answering Your Questions

Am I supposed to report a boating accident?

Yes. The operator of a boat must submit a written report to the Nevada Department of Wildlife if any death or injury results from an accident.

What information should I ask for from the other boater?

In addition to the name and contact information of the boater, note the name of the boat and the boat registration number. You will submit this information to both the state and to the insurance companies.

Are boating accidents common in Nevada?

Nevada is the most accident-prone state for boaters. Nearly 130 boat crashes result in death, injury, or property damage per 100,000 registered boat owners each year.
