Can a person injured in a Michigan boat accident file a lawsuit against a negligent boater?

A: Yes. Michigan boaters have the legal duty to operate their boat in a safe and non-negligent manner. A boater who ignores the boating laws or drives in an unsafe manner can be sued for injuries caused by his negligence?

Testimonials

I was riding my motorcycle in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck forced me to roll into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and bone fractures, which required surgeries. I chose Buckfire & Buckfire and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.

I highly recommend Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. They won a Saginaw nursing home neglect settlement for my father after two other law firms turned down the case.

I contacted the law firm after researching the internet for a Michigan medical malpractice lawyer. My mother died during surgery at a Lansing hospital. Larry Buckfire proved that an anesthesia error was the cause of her death. We are grateful for his hard work and the substantial settlement he won in our wrongful death lawsuit.
