New York Personal Injury Lawyers
Many different types of boating accidents occur on the lakes and waterways of New York, including one-craft or two-craft crashes, collisions between a boat and a smaller piece of water equipment such as a Jet Ski, and large-scale boating accidents such as ferry crashes.
