Every case is different, and what you're owed depends on how the accident happened and how your injuries have affected your life. We're here to fight back against unfair blame and make sure you're treated fairly. [get a free consultation](#spu-3576) ## 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. ![close up of a window on a boat](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/AdobeStock_121134163-1024x683.jpeg) ![ropes tied on a boat](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/AdobeStock_206472509-1024x862.jpeg) ## 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. ## Common Causes Of Boat Accidents Boating under the influence of drugs and alcohol Reckless operation Speeding Operator distraction and inattention Defective products Hazardous weather conditions Inexperienced boat operators Dangerous waters ## You May Be Entitled To Maximum Compensation Take this 60-second quiz to get started: "*" indicates required fields ## Answering Your Questions ### Am I supposed to report a boating accident?
