While boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious crime and the operator will be facing criminal penalties, you still have a right to pursue compensation for your injuries. We have helped clients obtain substantial compensation in civil court for cases involving run-overs or strikes by intoxicated boat operators.
