Why You Need a Boating Accident Lawyer

If you spend time on our lakes and rivers the chances are you own or enjoy the use of a boat for pleasure sailing, motoring, kayaking, canoeing, fishing and waterskiing or you swim, dive or raft in an area where there are motor or sailboats. No matter the circumstances leading up to your watersport related injury, you are entitled to full medical benefits, care and compensation, which is why it’s vital to consult with a personal injury lawyer. These claims are governed by legislation known as the Marine Liability Act and Canada Shipping Act. The vast majority of claims that we see each year involve injury from pleasure craft accidents. These are vessels that are rated under the legislation by weight. The law used to limit these claims to a maximum of $1,000,000, but recent amendments in 2023 to the law increased the limit to $1,500,000 as the maximum amount the operator of a pleasurecraft will be legally obligated to pay a victim. This increase is a good thing for boating accident victims but if they are catastrophically injured, this increase may not be enough to properly compensate the victim.

What Your Boating Accident Lawyer Will Do

The law relating to boating accidents is governed by legislation such as the Marine Liability Act and Canada Shipping Act. The claims can be complex and should only be handled by lawyers that have experience such as the lawyers at Himelfarb Proszanski. We have litigated numerous marine accident cases over the years securing our clients with significant settlements.

Coupled with this is the fact that the only water vessels requiring a Pleasure Craft Operator’s License or boat license are those with motors and Boater’s Insurance is not mandatory in Ontario. Often time boats are covered under Homeowner’s Insurance policies – but not always; nor are all boat operators licensed or even own the boat. This presents a complex set of problems when assigning responsibility to recoup losses. This is why you need to hire one of our lawyers right away to investigate these issues and determine your course of action. If you have been injured in a boating accident you need a Boating Accident Lawyer on your side.

How it Works

Our boating accident lawyer will move quickly to secure the accident benefits that you are entitled to for your accident. Notify your insurance company immediately after you’ve been involved in a boating or watercraft accident of any kind. Your HIMPRO Boating Accident Lawyer and our team of legal and non-legal professionals will investigate and document everything surrounding the accident to lay the basis for your claims for full medical benefits and financial compensation including, but not limited to, loss of income during your recovery period however long it might be.

How We Work with You

Your lawyer will ensure you have a team of experienced boating accident lawyers and law clerks that will handle your matter. We will get to know you and your family.

We will understand your situation clearly and will convince the insurance company that you are entitled to the highest court award possible.

I highly recommend Dan Holland as a disability lawyer. His commitment to my case made the process seamless. Dan's clear communication and ability to simplify complex legal matters made it easy for me to understand every step. He demonstrated genuine concern for my best interests, making him not only a skilled attorney but also someone easy to talk to.Dan’s support extended beyond legal expertise; he alleviated my stress during the long-term disability case. His calm approach and unhurried demeanour ensured that there was no rush in our collaboration. This, coupled with his dedication, made the entire experience more manageable, fostering confidence in his ability to handle the case with meticulous care.I wholeheartedly endorse Dan for anyone seeking a lawyer who not only gets results but also prioritizes your peace of mind.

My mom was involved in an accident impacting her daily life and ability to work. Dan Holland has worked with us during the duration of our case and has been helpful in fighting for her and supporting us, and organizing the things we needed. Our family is incredibly grateful of the outcome Dan was able to obtain for us. I would highly recommend him!

Many thanks to Silene Malhao for settling my husband's TORT claim and to Mena Brar for settling his accident benefits claim. These ladies made themselves available any time we had a question.

We are so happy that we had David and his team represent us. We couldn't have asked for a better team. Not only is David incredibly skilled and experienced, he is kind and compassionate and it is clear how much he cares for his clients. Megan was also absolutely amazing to work with and was always on top of everything and there to answer any questions we had! Thank you!

I'm so happy I chose David as my lawyer. I spoke to a few lawyers before finding David and I noticed majority of them spoke to me in a way that felt demeaning or that my case wasn't big enough or important enough to take. One phone call with David and my opinion on lawyers changed. He spoke to me as an equal and made me feel as if my case was definitely important and that I deserved to be fairly compensated. The whole process was wonderful. From dealing with David's law clerk Ingrid whom is an amazing and kind woman to his legal assistant Melissa whom is another amazing kind and talented young woman. I was so stressed about this case but from day 1 they helped ease that stress and always answered all my questions promptly and respectfully. I couldn't believe David got me to mediation within 6 months of being cut off my LTD and got me a settlement way beyond my expectations. I can't say enough good things about this law firm but I guarantee you that if you need a lawyer to fight for you David is your guy! . Believe me when I say this is the law firm for anyone dealing with personal injuries especially LTD denial claims. Thank you so much to David, Ingrid and Melissa you truly don't know how much I appreciate all you did for me and how this will help me get back on track with my life. Keep helping others you guys are doing amazing work! I wish you all the best!

I sustained a relatively painful injury, affecting me long term.I wouldn't otherwise had pursued it, as it involved a relatively large corporation, but felt it necessary to do so. However, many lawyers were daunted, with one, who actually referred me to HIMPRO.I was connected with Dan Holland, who reviewed the case, provided with me realistic expectations, sound advice and had a willingness to move forward and represent me.His calm and professional demeanor, brought me to a place of reassurance. His ease in addressing all facets of this process, clearly demonstrated a wealth of experience. There was never any hesitation, when being challenged, and felt my best interest was always in the forefront.This case has since been resolved, to my complete satisfaction.Without reservation, HIMPRO (and Dan Holland, in particular), would be the only firm I would recommend for these type of cases.
