Determining Liability for Your Snorkeling Accident

Recreational water activities are a part of everyday life in Florida, and tour companies, equipment rental companies, boat captains, and others providing services to those partaking in these activities are required to follow many laws and regulations. Businesses must provide recreational services safely. Many injuries are due to failure to provide things like:

• Well-maintained equipment
• Proper professional supervision
• Adequate training/assessment of ability
• Good assessment of weather conditions

In addition, since it is a National Marine Sanctuary, Key West has many additional restrictions. If you were injured in a snorkeling accident in Key West, our snorkeling accident attorneys are familiar with the rules specific to Key West. They can help determine if those rules were not followed properly. 

Determining liability for your snorkeling accident is crucial to your case. 

Our attorneys can review the circumstances of your accident and assess how parties may have contributed to your injury. Once your attorney identifies the liable party, they will gather evidence to support and build your case.

Filing a Claim for Your Snorkeling Accident

Businesses that offer snorkeling are required to have liability insurance. Dealing with an insurance company can be stressful and confusing. Our snorkeling accident injury attorneys are familiar with the tactics these companies use to make it difficult to complete a claim or limit compensation.  

If they deny your claim, or if they do not offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf. You should never feel pressured to answer insurance company questions or accept a settlement. Our lawyers are here to intervene on your behalf. 

What Should I Do Following a Snorkeling Accident?

The most important thing for you to do when you are injured is to seek immediate medical care. Once you are physically stable, you should continue follow-up care. 

If you were treated by emergency responders, seen at an emergency room or clinic, or if law enforcement responded to your accident, our attorneys can access the records and reports that will help support your claim. 

You Have Limited Time to Act After Your Snorkeling Accident

In Florida, there is a time limit for seeking damages for your snorkeling accident injury. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. 

It is important to start the process as soon as possible, so you don’t miss the deadline for filing. If you do, you may lose your legal rights to compensation.

Your attorney will make sure you meet all the deadlines the law requires.
