New Braunfels Drowning Lawyer
Victims of car accidents are subjected to a wide variety of personal injuries and emotional trauma. Sadly, boating accidents may be even more traumatic because victims are forced to deal with the additional stress of being surrounded by water. Injuries or loss of consciousness may cause a person to lose their ability to swim, possibly leading to drowning.
If you have suffered from a boating accident or lost a loved one due to drowning, you may be able to take legal action against the responsible party.

Causes of Drowning Accidents
Accidents on the water are extremely dangerous. Individuals may be harmed during the incident itself or because they are unable to swim and lacking life jackets. Some common causes of drowning accidents include:
- Non-licensed individuals operating boats
- Boating while intoxicated (BWI)
- Boat defects and malfunctions
- Boat owners failing to supply life jackets and other safety devices
- Boaters that drive excessively fast or ignore other safety laws
Drowning is often fatal, but even when it does not claim a person’s life, it can still leave the victim with permanent brain damage. This is unacceptable.
