Getting Justice for Your Boating Accident Injury
It can happen in an instant. You’re taking some time off from work or school to enjoy the water. Whether you go boating solo or with friends, it should be a relaxing experience for everyone involved. One moment everything is fun and breezy; the next, you’ve experienced a collision with another boater, the boat you’re on has run aground or your boat sails into poor weather conditions.
Boating accidents can result in serious, if not fatal, injuries. Like driving a car, anyone who decides to operate a boat should always use their best judgment, be aware of their surroundings and never operate a vehicle under the influence. If you were injured due to a boat operator’s negligence, you need compensation to cover medical bills, lost wages and other expenses.
The boating accident lawyers at Tolbert Beadle have seen a wide variety of cases throughout Missouri and Arkansas. We’re dedicated to providing you with the attention you need to get the compensation you deserve.

From a Former Client
Terry Tolbert and his team were very professional and polite. My calls were returned. My questions answered, even if I asked the same question more than once. I hope I never have need of an attorney, if I do I’ll choose Tolbert.
