Why Hire Us?

It is important to determine the relevant laws after a recreational accident. Recreational boating accidents can be complicated. There may be little or no insurance coverage. It may be difficult to prove negligence. The applicable laws vary depending on where the accident occurred: did it take place on a lake, on navigable international waters, or on state waters closer to shore? Was defective equipment involved? Matters such as these require the scrutiny of an experienced maritime law attorney who can identify the right laws under which to file claims for compensation and who knows how to properly investigate the claim to obtain maximum compensation.

Whether you suffered an injury in a boat on a lake or off of Boston Harbor or on a sailboat in the Atlantic Ocean, our maritime trial lawyers can help you.

“Someone was always available. It was usually Carolyn herself, and she would pick up on one ring. There was a time when I think I called her around nine o’clock. I had a question pop into my head, so I knew she was off the clock doing family stuff, but she still hopped on the phone and took care of the stuff that she knew I was concerned about.”

“We chose Latti & Anderson for our legal team because of their excellent reputation. I would also say the overall process of the firm handling the claim was above and beyond. Carolyn and Dave, they were exceptional when it came to professionalism, their attention to detail, and you could tell that they cared.”
