Coping After a Boating Under the Influence Accident

Every year, alcohol is responsible for hundreds of accidents, injuries, and even deaths on our nation's waterways. In fact, the U.S. Coast Guard has stated that Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is responsible for approximately a third of all recreational boating causalities.

If you have recently sustained injuries due to a BUI accident, you may need to receive physical therapy. Physical therapy consists of exercise, massage therapy, heath therapy, and electrical stimulation, which facilitates the recovery of accident victims.

Those who have suffered debilitating injuries may be eligible to file for disability payments. Eligibility depends on a number of factors, such how as long the individual has worked before filing a claim. For more information, contact the Social Security Administration.
