​

Recreational boating and cruising is a popular pastime on South Florida reservoirs, lakes and rivers, as well as on the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
 
Boating can also be a dangerous activity, when waterways are overcrowded — and populated by negligent and intoxicated boat operators. When people suffer serious or catastrophic injuries, or wrongful death in an avoidable boat accident, boat owners may be held liable for damages.
 
If you were hurt or a loved one was killed in a boating accident in or near Greater Miami, our experienced, dedicated boat accident injury attorneys work hard to bring you back — physically, financially and emotionally, with quality representation that gets results.
 
We are the Law Offices of Ivan A. Schertzer, dedicated to achieving justice for boaters and motorists injured by negligence.
 
Our respected personal injury law firm's founder Ivan A. Schertzer and attorney Joni D. Blachar work with investigators and medical experts to reconstruct boating accident scenes, evaluate injuries and develop a comprehensive damage claim for you and your family.
 
Mr. Schertzer uses his 30-year track record of success and insurance defense law background to skillfully negotiate with a negligent boater's insurer. If an insurance company's offer of financial compensation is unsatisfactory to you, our skilled trial attorneys are fully prepared to take the case to court.
 
We serve personal injury and wrongful death client families in Greater Miami and throughout South Florida. Contact us to arrange your free initial consultation. We can speak with you at your home or hospital room if your injury prevents travel.
