The ABCs of Boat Ownership and Liability
As a boat owner, you are responsible for any damage that your boat causes, whether through an accident or another mishap and for any injuries sustained by your passengers. Many owners do not consider that their liability can extend to medical costs as well as damages brought by a party who is injured while on your boat. In fact, if someone is injured climbing onto or out of your vessel you may be held responsible even if the boat is docked. In order to protect yourself from such damages, it is important to carry adequate liability coverage. Our team of professional agents can meet with you and review your current policy and confirm if the protection is adequate for your needs. Many boat owners focus on coverage for the boat itself without considering what can happen to them if there is an injury-causing accident involving their craft.
Don’t let the joy and exhilaration of boat ownership cloud your judgment when it comes to securing adequate boat insurance coverage. The team at Tim Huber Insurance is proud to serve the St. Augustine, FL area, especially those who own boats and enjoy being out on the water!
