Cannon & Dunphy, S.C. has won more $10 million and higher awards than any other personal injury law firm in Wisconsin.

Personal Injury - Boating Accidents and Maritime Law

Milwaukee maritime and admiralty litigation involves claims for personal injuries, property damage, or other injuries occurring on navigable waterways. Such claims can arise under a wide array of circumstances, be it a personal injury arising from a recreational watercraft collision on Milwaukee's Lake Michigan, property damage arising from the improper handling of goods on a freighter on the Gulf of Mexico, or a death arising from inadequate safety measures on a cruise ship on the Pacific Ocean.

Boating Laws and Accident Claims

Regardless of the circumstances, such claims generally involve a unique and complicated series of federal--and often state and foreign--laws governing the time and location in which such claims must be brought and other complex procedural and substantive limitations. Most lawyers have never encountered, much less are familiar with, these laws. As such, it is important to discuss your potential case with a lawyer who is experienced in this area of the law. Discuss your boating accident with one of Milwaukee's most experienced personal injury attorneys.
