── Types of Boating Accidents in South Carolina
Many different types of boating accidents occur in South Carolina each year, including:
- Collisions
- Capsizing
- DUI
- Fire
- Falling overboard
Boat operators have a duty of care while operating their vessels. They must abide by local laws, including speed limits, and consider the safety of all those onboard and in the water nearby. If they breach their duty of care, then the boat operator can get held responsible for any property damage, injuries, or death that occurs.
── Why Hire a Boating Accident Attorney for Your Case
Oftentimes, it’s difficult to prove fault in boating accident cases, especially if you don’t seek help from an experienced South Carolina lawyer. You need to present evidence showing that the boat operator was acting recklessly or otherwise negligent while piloting the vessel.
Plus, you need to show that you suffered damages due to their actions, resulting in the need for the law to make you whole again. By hiring a lawyer, you can effectively move through those steps and get justice after a boating accident occurs.
Your Spartanburg boating accident lawyer from Kyle J. White Law Firm will help you:

Although it might not feel like it at the moment, you have options on how to handle the situation after a boating accident occurs. You can directly take the boat operator to court, go through mediation sessions, or even try to negotiate a settlement with their insurance company. A skilled attorney from Kyle J. White Law Firm can look at all the circumstances of your case to help you explore all the options available to you.
Recover Damages
A boating accident attorney in Anderson, SC from Kyle J. White Law Firm can help you recover all the losses that occurred due to a boating accident, such as:
- Existing and future medical expenses

Beyond that, if your injuries leave you unable to work the same job, then your lawyer will fight to recoup the difference in pay between your old and new positions. If you’re unable to work at all, you’ll need help getting compensation for the permanent disability or disfigurement instead.
