Serving Stuart and the Treasure Coast
Stuart sits at the heart of Florida’s Treasure Coast, where the St. Lucie River meets the Atlantic and recreational boating, fishing, and waterfront living are woven into daily life. When a drowning, boating crash, or other serious water accident occurs, the consequences can be devastating — medically, financially, and emotionally.
Baker Legal Team represents individuals and families affected by water-related injuries across Stuart, Martin County, and the surrounding Treasure Coast communities. With 35+ years of trial experience and over $400 million recovered for injury victims, our firm is recognized as one of Florida’s leading advocates in drowning, boating, jet ski, and water park injury cases.
Types of Water Accident Cases We Handle
Our firm handles all forms of negligence-based water accidents on Florida’s east coast, including:
- Drowning and near-drowning accidents in residential, community, and resort pools
- Boating and jet ski accidents, including operator negligence and boating under the influence
- Watercraft defects and malfunctions, including off-throttle steering failures and other manufacturer issues
- Resort and hotel pool accidents involving inadequate supervision, missing safety equipment, or poor maintenance
- Water park incidents at parks across South Florida and the Treasure Coast
- Lake, canal, and river accidents
- Cruise ship and shore excursion injuries handled under maritime law
Why Specialized Water-Accident Counsel Matters
Water accident cases are rarely straightforward. Property owners, marinas, resort operators, and boat manufacturers often deny responsibility, while their insurers work aggressively to minimize payouts. Evidence in a drowning or boating case can disappear quickly — pools are reopened, decks are cleaned, and damaged equipment is repaired or discarded within days.
When we become involved early, we move to preserve surveillance footage, obtain incident reports, and document the scene before it changes. We also work with medical professionals to understand the full impact of oxygen deprivation, brain injury, and other water-related trauma so any settlement or verdict reflects the future care, therapy, and support you and your family may need.
