Types of Boat Accidents
There are many ways you can be injured while driving or riding on a boat, including (but not limited to):
- Ferry boat accidents
- Colliding with other watercraft
- Capsizing
- Hitting a rock, sandbar, or other object
- Flooding/swamping
- Sinking
Generally, when people think of boats, they think of sailboats or motorized vehicles, like yachts, motor boats, etc. However, you may be able to consider your injuries the result of a “boat accident” if you were hurt while using a canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or inflatable watercraft.

How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Missouri?Every state has a time limit for how long you have to file a personal injury claim called the statute of limitations. In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is five years from the date the injury occurred or could have been reasonably discovered. If you fail to file your personal injury lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires then the defendant will most certainly file a motion to dismiss the case.
