Commercial Marine Facilities Accidents
Commercial Marine Facilities Accidents cause injuries to innocent workers, cruise ship patrons and other victims every year. Whether due to unsafe docks, unsafe pilings, shifting boats/ships, unsecured or improper gangways, lack of supervision, negligence of a worker or subcontractor, or any other cause, innocent victims may sustain serious injuries. Our office handles these claims.
Mr. Eberle has regularly boated and fished our local inshore, nearshore and offshore waters for the past 35 years. From New York Harbor and up the Hudson River, the Raritan Bay, Barnegat Bay and down the New Jersey coast to Cape May, out to Montauk and the Long Island Sound, and the major river, lake and reservoir systems of New Jersey and New York, Mr. Eberle is an attorney and a waterman who has never turned his back on the sea. He has been lucky, although he knows what it is to lose close friends to the unforgiving seas, friends who were highly skilled, careful and professional commercial watermen. Boating Accidents happen, and innocent victims and their surviving family members pay the price. The Law Offices of Geoffrey D. Eberle represents those seriously injured boaters, fishermen, watermen, dock workers and others in these types of personal injury cases.
A complex system of inter-related State and Federal laws apply to claims for injuries sustained on our waterways. Determining the best and most effective avenue of approach to your claim is important, including whether to file your claim in State Court, Federal Court, the location of that Court and the specific statutory and common law theories of liability to support your claim. Whether your claim involves a boating accident on water, in a recreational marina, a commercial marina/dock/wharves, or at a commercial waterfront facility, the Law Offices of Geoffrey D. Eberle will professionally and vigorously assert your rights to obtain the maximum compensation provided by law.
Effective and experienced legal representation is required to determine the cause of your Boating/Marina/Waterway/Commercial Waterfront Accident. Presentation of your case, many times in conjunction with Expert Witnesses, should be done in a seamless manner to obtain the best recovery allowed by law.
The law generally provides that an injured person is entitled to recover money damages for injuries proximately caused by the negligence of a civil defendant. “Negligence” has been defined as a departure from the generally accepted standard of care in the use, operation or maintenance of a motor vehicle. “Proximate Cause” means that an injury was the direct and foreseeable cause of negligence. Calculation of “money damages” may include pain and suffering, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of income, medical expenses, future cost of care for the disabled, and such other considerations.
In many instances, trained and professional Expert Witnesses may be required for your case, including Accident Reconstruction Experts, Coast Guard Procedure Experts, Commercial Waterfront Facility Experts, Marine Survey Experts, Medical Experts (your treating physicians and surgeons), Economic Experts and Life Care Planning Experts. These professionals may be required either to clearly explain the nature of liability to the Court, or to explain the full nature of your injuries and losses, so that your Damage Award will be complete.
The law limits the time period within which you must protect your rights by filing a Complaint and/or taking other steps to “perfect” your rights. Otherwise you may forever lose your opportunity to seek and obtain compensation. Don't wait. To sleep on your rights may be fatal to your claim.
