Chicago Boat Accident Lawyer

Boating accidents on or around waterways in the state of Illinois are more frequent than commonly understood. They can occur while people are engaged either in recreational or commercial use and can cause serious injuries.

​Boating accidents in Illinois can occur on Lake Michigan, the Illinois River, the Mississippi River, or numerous other lakes, ponds, streams, or man-made waterways. Oftentimes, boating accidents that occur on navigable waters may be subject to other causes of action which could be brought under the Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, or common law negligence (typical motor vehicle accident claims).

At Strong Law Offices, our lawyers have experience bringing boat accident-related actions under all of these laws. If you or a loved one has been a victim of a boating accident, we may be able to help you collect damages and reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and permanent injury or other serious injuries or death.
