Proving Liability in a Watercraft Accident

Tucson Metro Chamber awards_logo2Before an injured person can collect compensation, they must bring a cause of action against the party responsible for the accident. To succeed in a claim, the plaintiff must establish liability by proving the following elements of legal negligence:

  • The at-fault party owed a duty of care to the injured person
  • The opposing party breached this duty of care
  • The breach directly caused the plaintiff’s injuries
  • The plaintiff suffered losses as a result of those injuries

Only after the injured person successfully establishes the negligence of the other party can they seek compensation.

Comparative Negligence Laws

Under the Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-2505, the injured party may receive a reduced damages award if a jury finds that they contributed to their boating injuries. The comparative negligence law states that the amount of compensation a partially liable plaintiff may receive can be decreased by the percentage of fault they bear for an accident.

However, if the jury finds that the injured party intentionally contributed or caused their boating accident injuries, the action will be barred and compensation denied under A.R.S. § 12-2505(B). An attorney who focuses on boat accident cases could help injured parties prove the negligence of another person or entity. Additionally, a legal professional could anticipate allegations of partial fault and develop a defense strategy.

This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS
