Boyd Law, PA has handled many cases where a boat or barge has come into contact with a person’s dock and caused damage to the dock. Dock cases are different because of the way the damages are calculated. Typically, when a barge or a boat causes damage to a dock, the barge owner and the boat owner are liable for the damages to the dock. The maritime rule is typically that a moving object is at fault when it hits a stationary object, such as a dock. If your dock has been damaged by a boat or a barge that for some reason has gotten away from its owner, call Boyd Law, PA to determine your legal rights.
