Wellington Boating Accident Lawyers

Sustaining serious injuries in a boating accident is utterly devastating. Although filing a claim against the liable party will not undo the trauma you have experienced, it might enable you to protect your financial security. Depending on the facts surrounding your case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

To determine if you have grounds for a claim, contact Weston & Pape. Our personal injury lawyers have helped hundreds of clients recover the funds they needed to make their lives whole again.

The costs of recovering from serious injuries can add up fast. Medical expenses and lost wages can increase with every passing day, and some people fall behind on essential bills within a matter of weeks.

As a result, injured parties are typically motivated to settle, and they usually want to do so as quickly as possible. There is no set timeline for the claims process, though, which means it is impossible to predict how long your case might take to resolve without performing a thorough investigation.

Factors that may affect the duration of the proceedings include:

• The severity of your injuries and the time it will take to reach maximum medical improvement;


• The strength of any evidence of fault;


• The total number of defendants;


• Whether the opposing party is cooperative;


• Whether criminal activity played a role in the accident;


• Whether you intend to pursue punitive damages; and


• Whether the case goes to court.

Although unanticipated delays can arise over the course of the proceedings, Weston & Pape will do everything possible to mitigate potential disputes, resolve those that do arise swiftly, and streamline the entire claims process.

Even if a settlement is the expected outcome, we will prepare your case for trial. This may prevent lengthy delays and encourage the insurance company to cooperate. If necessary, we will bring in experts to assist with the investigation and provide testimony.

Unfortunately, even if the opposing party is willing to settle, their initial offer might not be fair. Our attorneys will make sure your claim accounts for all damages and will calculate a reasonable settlement so you don’t accept less than what you are owed.
