The Ottawa Valley is home to countless scenic lakes and waterways, making boating one of the region’s most popular spring, summer, and fall activities. Whether for fishing, jet skiing, or leisure cruising, boating is often a cherished pastime. However, with the operation of any watercraft, personal or commercial, comes the risk of accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions: Boat Accident Lawyers Ottawa
What should I do immediately after a boat accident in Ontario?
Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Report the accident to local authorities and gather as much evidence as possible, take photographs, collect witness names, and note weather or water conditions. Contact an experienced Ottawa boat accident lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What types of injuries are common in boating accidents?
Boating accidents can lead to serious injuries such as fractures, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, hypothermia, amputations, and, in severe cases, drowning. Some injuries may require long-term rehabilitation and can impact your ability to work or enjoy daily life.
Can I claim compensation if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Ontario’s comparative negligence laws allow you to seek compensation even if you share some responsibility. However, your settlement may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. A lawyer can help you understand how this applies to your case.
What compensation can I claim after a boating accident?
Compensation may cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, diminished earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. In cases of wrongful death, surviving family members may also claim funeral expenses and loss of companionship.

We operate on a contingency fee basis, you pay nothing upfront, and we only receive payment if we secure a settlement or win your case. Your initial consultation is free, allowing you to explore your options risk-free.
