Injured in a Pittsburgh Boating Accident? You May Be Able to Recover Damages
A recreational activity, such as boating or jet skiing, that results in an injury, can be devastating to its victim. Due to the nature of the activity, being on the water, and the speeds at which many boats travel, accidents can result in catastrophic injuries or death. At Berger and Green, we have experience representing clients in boating accidents to recover the compensation they deserve for injuries sustained on the water.
Our Pittsburgh boat accident lawyers are dedicated to assisting victims and family members of victims who were injured in boating and jet ski accidents and other accidents occurring on the water resulting from another’s negligence.

Why Partner With a Boating Injury Attorney?
Berger and Green has decades of legal experience advocating for boating accident claimants. When you entrust us with your personal injury case, we:
- Gather evidence. We need supporting information to bolster your right to damages. Evidence may comprise the accident report, photos of the boat’s damage, and eyewitness testimony.
- File your insurance claim. Pennsylvania does not require boaters to carry insurance. Yet, many marinas require boaters to have insurance to store their vessels. If you have coverage options, we can file your boat accident claim and manage all communications with the liable insurer.
- Determine your recoverable losses. You can recover more than medical bills following a boating accident; you can also recover pain, suffering, and various non-economic damages. Your boating accident attorney in Pittsburgh can arrive at a fair value for your case.
- Litigate your case. Our boating injury lawyers are seasoned litigators. If filing an insurance claim doesn’t yield damages, we can file a lawsuit against the negligent party in civil court.
You’re under enough stress after a boating collision in Pittsburgh. Let our legal team alleviate that stress and manage your case.
