Not All Boat Accidents are in the Water

Summer is upon us and that means people are getting out on the lakes and rivers in their boats.

While this is one of the most enjoyable parts of getting out and about in the warm months, it can also be dangerous.

Not only are there people out there boating in sometimes irresponsible ways, there are also a lot of people towing boat trailers down the highways, some of whom may not really know what they’re doing. More than a few Dallas car accidents have been caused by people overestimating their ability to drive with a boat in tow.

One of the most common accident scenarios with vehicles towing boats involves wide turns. If you think of the signs on the back of semi trucks that warm about wide right turns, you’ll understand why many accidents with trailer-equipped vehicles happen. The dynamics between the vehicle and the road are significantly changed when a vehicle is towing a boat, and that means that there is a real danger of something going wrong.

One of the main risks with these types of accidents is that people have a lot to lose. You may well find yourself in a situation where someone who is clearly responsible for hitting you tries to pass it off as if you caused the problem. When someone causes an accident like this, they know they’re looking at big bills coming down the road. Make sure you have a car accident injury attorney on your side to make sure that you don’t end up footing the bill for their negligence.

If you find yourself in this situation, keep a few things in mind. An accident lawyer will tell you first and foremost, never admit fault. Talk to the police if needed and immediately seek medical treatment for any possible injuries, but call your attorney before you talk to the insurance company.

Your attorney can tell you how to deal with the insurance company so that you don’t end up making a simple mistake that harms your case. Car wrecks can be very expensive, and if you don’t think you can afford a lawyer, look for one (like us) who takes car accident cases on a no win, no fee basis.
