What to Do after a BUI Accident (Part A)

Have you recently been injured as the result of a Boating Under the Influence (BUI) accident?

Alcohol is a contributing factor in boating accidents, injuries, and even deaths each year, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Boating while intoxicated can be just as deadly as drinking and driving. The vibration and motion of the boat, as well as the sun and the wind, can expedite the boat operator's impairment. Boaters are also less experienced operating a boat than operating a motor vehicle, which can lead to serious accidents.

There are numerous resources available for victims of drunk boating accidents. One of the most important steps you can take after a BUI accident is to contact an experienced personal injury attorney.

If the accident took place in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, Florida you should be aware that Florida has a statute of limitations that may prohibit you from filing a lawsuit. Contact the Law Offices of LaVan & Neidenberg today to learn about your rights and determine liability.

Physical Therapy

Depending on the injuries you sustained as the result of a boating accident, you may need physical therapy. According to WebMD, there are many physical therapy exercises that can help accident victims.

These may include:

• Stretching
• Lifting Weights
• Walking
• Walking Aerobics
• Core Stability Exercises

Massage therapy, hydrotherapy, heat, and electrical stimulation may also be used to treat pain, soothe muscles, and accelerate the healing process.

Your physical therapist will provide education on how to perform your day-to-day tasks safely after being injured. If you require a wheelchair or crutches, your therapist will instruct you on their proper use. Your therapist may also give you exercises to perform at home in order to aid your recovery.

The American Physical Therapy Association has a national physical database that may be helpful in selecting an experienced physical therapist in your area.
