Common Injuries Suffered in Boating Accidents

Boating accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries due to the nature of these incidents and the elements involved. Some of the most common injuries suffered in boating accidents include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A collision or a fall can result in head injuries ranging from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries, which may have long-term consequences on an individual's cognitive and physical abilities.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: The force of impact can cause spinal cord injuries, leading to paralysis or significant impairments in mobility and sensation.
  • Broken Bones and Fractures: Collisions can cause fractures and broken bones, which may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
  • Drowning and Near-Drowning: Accidents involving capsizing or falling overboard can lead to drowning or near-drowning incidents, which can cause severe damage to vital organs and long-term health complications.
  • Lacerations and Contusions: Debris on the boat or in the water, as well as collisions, can cause cuts, bruises, and other forms of bodily harm.
  • Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Boating accidents can result in psychological trauma, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for survivors.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Boating Accident in Massachusetts?

The statute of limitations for boating accidents in Massachusetts is generally three years from the accident date. However, certain circumstances may affect the time limit, so it's crucial to consult with a skilled boating accident lawyer at Lynch & Owens, P.C., as soon as possible after the incident to protect your rights.
