Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about boating accident cases in Colorado
What Colorado laws apply to boating accidents?
Colorado boating accidents are governed by state boating safety regulations and general negligence law. Operators must follow rules for speed, alcohol limits, and safety equipment. Shannon investigates whether the boat operator violated any of these regulations, which strengthens your claim.
Can I sue a boat rental company for my injuries?
Yes, if the rental company failed to maintain the vessel, provide proper safety equipment, or adequately instruct renters. Shannon investigates the rental company's maintenance records and safety practices to determine all liable parties.
What if alcohol was involved in my boating accident?
Boating under the influence is illegal in Colorado with the same BAC limits as driving. If an impaired operator caused your accident, they may be subject to punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Shannon pursues every avenue of compensation available.
