Waco Swimmer Collisions Lawyers
As lakes and rivers become busier with each passing year, the increasing concentration of people and vessels in a limited space heightens the risk of dangerous and deadly accidents. While it would be ideal if everyone took it upon him or herself to remain fully aware of surrounding conditions, the reality is that many boaters operate their vehicles while intoxicated or with other distractions that interfere with both their ability and willingness to properly monitor the situation. Unfortunately this can result in serious injuries or death for swimmers who are caught in the path of a negligent boater.
The medical expenses that arise from a boating accident are likely to be substantial, and you should not have to bear that cost on your own. Fortunately, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit seeking financial compensation for your injuries.

Common Injuries Associated with Boating Accidents
It is always advisable for swimmers to make an effort to stay at a safe distance from boats that are in motion, but there are times when the boundaries between swimming and boating zones are unclear. In the event of a collision, however, it is unlikely that a boat will sustain even moderate damage but the swimmer who is struck will likely suffer significant injuries. Common injuries associated with boat-swimmer accidents include:
- Severe Lacerations
- Amputations (from rotating propeller blades or lines trailing at speed)
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
