As we gear up for the summer season, Brevard County’s waterside communities beckon residents and tourists alike, promising fun-filled days under the sun. Florida’s coasts and rivers are ideal for a variety of water sports including boating, Jet Skiing, and waterskiing. However, the increase in water activities during the summer often correlates with a rise in recreational boating accidents. At Nance Cacciatore, we specialize in handling these complex cases and are here to help if your day on the water turns into a nightmare.

The Risks of Recreational Boating in Brevard County

Increasing Popularity and Associated Dangers

The allure of the open water during Florida’s steamy summer months is hard to resist. Whether it’s a powerboat, Jet Ski, or waterski, the thrill is unparalleled. Yet, these exciting activities come with their risks, particularly when the waters get crowded and alcohol or inexperience plays a role. The unfortunate reality is that a great day out can quickly become hazardous, leading to serious accidents and injuries.

Types of Accidents Covered by Nance Cacciatore

At Nance Cacciatore, our expertise spans a wide array of maritime and recreational boating accident cases throughout Brevard County. We have successfully handled collisions involving private vessels, often resulting from operator negligence and personal watercraft accidents where inexperience or inattention leads to severe mishaps with Jet Skis and Sea-Doos. Our attorneys also manage cases involving rental boats, where issues like inadequate training or maintenance play a role, as well as accidents related to towed water toys such as wakeboards, water skis, and tubes. Additionally, we tackle sensitive cases of drownings and near-drownings, and incidents on charter boats or during scuba diving excursions, where commercial operators fail to uphold safety standards or properly maintain equipment. Each case is approached with comprehensive legal expertise to secure just compensation for our clients.
