Families of Boat Accident Victims File Wrongful Death Claim

Broward County Personal Injury Lawyer — Sat, 19 May 2012 20:00:00 GMT

The families of two Hungarian teenagers killed in a boat accident in 2010 will finally see their day in court. After filing a wrongful death lawsuit against two parties, the families are waiting to hear the outcome of their case. In 2010 the two victims – S.P., 20, and D.S., 16 – were on a duck boat taking a tour around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At some point during the tour the boat stalled but the passengers were not told to don life jackets. As the boat sat in the water, a barge drove into the vessel, sending most of the passengers over the edge and into the water below. The two victims' deaths have been blamed on the negligence of the tug boat operator who was pulling the barge.

Since then, the tug boat pilot has been charged with the maritime equivalent of involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to one year behind bars for causing the accident. According to prosecutors handling the case, he was on his cell phone at the time of the boat accident. Do you want to move forward with a claim to seek damages for your accident case?

Broward County Personal Injury Lawyer — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:10:00 GMT

One man died and four more were injured in a boat accident in the state of New Jersey last week. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the boat's anchor got stuck, forcing it to capsize and sink off the coast of Staten Island. The five people were aboard the vessel when it capsized. Although the cause of the accident has yet to be confirmed, it appears as though the anchor became stuck on something and that caused the entire boat to turn over. The four survivors sustained minor injuries and were later released from an area hospital. Several hours after the boat accident took place, the deceased victim was revealed to be 50-year-old M.B.

Luckily, there was another boat in the area when the accident took place to offer assistance. The Coast Guard responded to a mayday call shortly after the rescue boat pulled the five victims from the water. None of the passengers were found to have been wearing life jackets at the time of the incident.
