Ferry Boat Accidents

Ferry boats ferry people across lakes, rivers and other waterways. When they travel on navigable waterways, these commercial vessels must adhere to the rules and regulations of the Coast Guard.

The captain of a ferry boat is also responsible for controlling the vessel. If the captain exhibits reckless or negligent conduct, this may constitute grounds for a lawsuit against him or his.

Passengers and crew members can suffer injuries while on the ferry boat because of various reasons. Slip and fall accidents may occur on the steps leading to or off of the ferry, as well as on other surfaces inside the boat. These accidents can cause broken bones, concussions or head injuries.
