Our Hilton Head Island boat accident lawyers can help you determine a fair value for your claim. To do so, we will need to access evidence of your damages, losses, and out-of-pocket expenses. Without a full investigation into your boat accident, we will have a difficult time assessing the compensation you deserve.
Typically, damages will be broken down into economic and non-economic categories. Here are a variety of common damages that our law firm considers for accident claims:
- Current medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Additional accident-related costs
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Additional emotional damages
If a member of your family was killed in a boat accident in South Carolina, George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers can also help you file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party. These expenses may include damages to pay for a funeral, cremation, personal losses, and more.
Once your lawyer has obtained evidence of your damages, losses, and expenses, we can begin to monetize them to determine the total and fair value for your claim. From here, we can begin to negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.

Investigating Liability and Negligence From Boat Accidents
In order to hold the opposing party responsible for your boat accident and the costs associated with it, we will need to prove liability during an insurance claim and potentially during a personal injury lawsuit.
As stated by the American Bar Association (ABA), “A person is liable if he or she was negligent in causing the accident.” Furthermore, ABA suggests that the other party’s “liability stems from careless or thoughtless conduct or a failure to act when a reasonable person would have acted.”
Thus, once we prove negligence existed in causing your boat accident, we can simultaneously prove that the opposing party was liable. There are also several elements that we must prove to establish negligence against them.
The four elements of negligence include:
- Existence of a legal duty of care
- The other party breached that duty of care
- You suffered damages
- Proof that the other party’s breach of care caused your damages

(888) 612-7001What We Will Do for You in Your Boat Accident Case
When beginning your claim with us, we will begin to serve you by handling all communications with the insurance companies related to your case. This will take place after you have initially contacted your own personal watercraft insurance company to begin a claim.
From here, your boat accident lawyer on Hilton Head Island will communicate with the insurance companies so we can work towards earning you a fair settlement. Likely, the insurance companies may try and submit a settlement offer that is well below the value of your monetized damages.
When this happens, your lawyer will continue to fight for fair compensation, even if that means filing a lawsuit. If out-of-court negotiations do not lead to a successful outcome for your claim, we will file your claim in court via a personal injury lawsuit.
Our Firm Stands Apart From The Rest Because We Make Clients Our Priority.
