Speedboat driver who failed to provide safety instructions held liable for our client’s injuries

A speedboat accident left our client seriously injured and unable to care for herself. Using our extensive network of experts, our dedicated motor accident lawyers proved the driver was responsible. The victory helped our client regain her dignity and improve her quality of life.

We began the case by requesting information from the speedboat company. When they refused to cooperate, we successfully appealed to the District Court. Armed with this information, we worked with our client to brief a liability expert on the accident. The expert then issued a full liability report that showed the driver’s actions caused our client’s injuries. In particular, they failed to provide adequate safety instructions and maintain a safe speed while operating the boat.

At the same time, we obtained expert medical reports and witness statements to document our client’s injuries and their severe impact on her everyday life.

Our comprehensive approach and detailed evidence convinced the driver’s insurer to settle at mediation. This saved our client Court costs and ensured she received her compensation quickly. In the end, our client received $350,000 plus legal costs. The large settlement means she can pay for the day-to-day care and support her financial future.
