Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything

If you know the Rochester area well enough, you know that there are a variety of lakes that harbor many boats and jet skis during the summer time. As a result, accidents inevitably happen; boats crash into other boats or jet skis. These accidents are usually a result of careless and reckless operation and in some instances, criminal behavior such as drinking and boating. If you’ve been involved in a boating accident, contact our experienced Rochester boat accident attorneys for a free confidential consultation. You may be entitled to recover damages for the injuries you’ve sustained.
New York State says it is illegal to operate a boat carelessly, and as a result, if you happen to be injured because of a reckless driver, you can then sue them because of their irresponsible behavior. For instance, if a boat operator is operating their boat at high speeds in a restricted area and causes a collision with another boat that results in injuries, the injured party may be entitled to a monetary award.
Civil and criminal liability can also enter the picture in a boating accident if the other boat operator is intoxicated. Another reason for boating accidents in the Rochester area is due to product defects on boats and jet skis.
Whether you were injured due to careless boating or a boating product defect, contact the experienced boating accident lawyers at Friedman & Ranzenhofer, PC. We will discuss the details of your case and what the next steps you should take next in handling your boat accident injury claim. Don’t settle for less, let our experience work for you.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured aboard a boat or other type of watercraft, contact our dedicated Rochester boat accident attorneys for dedicated representation.
