What Need to Do After a Boating Accident
It can be shocking to be involved in a boating accident. However, when you get on the boat, you probably expect to arrive safely back on shore.
It is easy to lose track of what you need to do if you have been involved in a boating accident, but some of the most critical steps you need to take include:
- Dial 911: You should always make sure that you dial 911. Even if you feel like nobody is injured, there must be a report of the accident. If the authorities do not draft a report, it might be like the accident never happened. Then, you may have difficulty pursuing a claim in the future. You should always ensure the authorities come to the accident scene.
- Get To Safety: You should ensure that you get to a safe location, which means getting off the boat as long as you can do so safely. If the accident took place close to shore, you might want to get off the boat if you are close enough. You should make sure that you stay in a safe location until the authorities arrive.
- Speak To the Authorities: You should be honest with the authorities about what happened from your point of view. The authorities will probably talk to everyone at the scene but do not worry too much about what other people have to say. You need to provide the authorities with an accurate account of what happened and do not forget to ask for a copy of the report once it is done.
- Visit a Medical Professional: Emergency medical personnel may come to the scene of the accident, but even if they do not do so, you still need to seek appropriate medical care. You will have a lot of adrenaline coursing through your veins after a severe accident, which can mask serious injuries. You should make sure the doctor does a thorough job of investigating all possible sources of injury, as you deserve appropriate treatment.
- Schedule a Consultation with a Lawyer: Finally, you should schedule a case consultation with a Salt Lake City boating accident lawyer. Even if you have appropriate insurance, your expenses can still be significant. If the accident was not your fault, you should not be forced to deal with the financial ramifications of the accident.
At Strong Law Accident and Injury Attorneys, it would be our honor to represent you following a boating accident in Salt Lake City. The sooner you get us involved, the easier it will be for us to protect your rights.

How We Can Help You
If you decide to partner with us, what can you expect? At Strong Law Accident and Injury Attorneys, we have worked hard to expand the resources we have available to ensure we can provide you with the comprehensive legal support you need.
Some of the ways that we can help you after an accident include:
- Interview Witnesses: You need someone with a legal background who can interview witnesses and get a complete picture of everything that happened. If we believe a more thorough investigation is warranted, we can even order formal depositions to make sure we have all the evidence we need to make a strong claim.
- Reach Out to Experts: We may need to reach out to our network of experts to get a better picture of the consequences of the accident. There are some situations where we might need to hire an accident reconstruction specialist to paint a clear picture of how everyone might have been impacted. There are also situations where we might need to hire a medical expert to testify to the serious nature of your injuries.
- Negotiate with Insurance: If an insurance company reaches out to you to offer a settlement, you might be tempted to take it. While the money might sound nice, how do you know that you are getting a fair settlement? You need to work with a Salt Lake City boating accident attorney who can review the entire case and make sure the insurance company is providing you with a fair offer.
- Pursue Damages: There are also situations where we might need to pursue additional damages. The insurance policy will have a liability limit on it, and if your damages exceed that limit, we may need to file a lawsuit against other parties directly. We will discuss the several types of damages we may be able to pursue on your behalf.
- Take the Case to Trial: If you feel like you are not getting a fair offer, we may decide to take the case to trial. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but if we feel you deserve additional compensation, we may encourage you to take your case before a judge and jury. We will make sure that you are as comfortable as possible if we have to go to court.
We will customize our approach to meet the exact circumstances of your case, and we will do everything we can to put your claim in a position to be successful. If you have questions about how your case might unfold, all you must do is reach out to us and ask.
We will explain everything to you in a way you can understand to ensure you can make the best decision for your situation.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
“I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation.”

How Long Will It Take You to Resolve My Case?
Every case is different. There are some cases that we may be able to resolve in a few weeks, and others might take a few months to reach a fair settlement. If the case has to go to trial, it could take significantly longer for the case to reach a conclusion.

What Is the Value of My Case?

You may have medical bills, lost income, costs associated with pain and suffering, among other possible damages. To learn the possible value of your case, contact the team at Strong Law. In a free case evaluation, we’ll let you know how much your case may be worth.
What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
