Boat Theft

A Lawyer in Michigan Here to Help You With an Insurance Claim for a Stolen Boat

Lakes are one of the most beautiful aspects of nature, and many people throughout Michigan enjoy them using boats. Unfortunately, when boats are stolen, boat insurance companies often try to find any way not to pay claims submitted as a result of the thefts. Do not let this happen to you.

If your boat has been stolen, you have rights and I, John Bredell, am here to help you assert those rights and protect them when you are facing a claim that is denied for boat insurance compensation. Contact my office today to schedule a free, straightforward consultation about what your options are if your boat insurance case has merit.

Protecting Your Rights and Your Investment

Boats are easy to steal. There are many ways this can happen such as:

  • Unhitching the trailer the boat is attached to
  • Stealing a vehicle that has a boat attached to it
  • Unroping a boat tied to a dock
  • Leaving a boat running while stopping to pick up passengers or supplies
  • Taking a broken down trailer left on the side of the road that has a boat attached to it

You have spent time and hard earned money paying your boat insurance premiums just in case the worst scenario occurs. When your boat is stolen, the last thing you want to deal with is your boat insurance company accusing you of offloading your boat in an effort to collect money and get rid of an expensive luxury item that is expensive to maintain.

As your attorney, I will help you appeal a claim that is denied on these grounds and I will help you prove that you did everything to protect your asset in good faith, including maintaining the boat and keeping it stored safely, and that you have no incentive to commit insurance fraud. If your boat insurance claim is denied for no good reason, my firm and I are more than prepared to engage in an insurance bad faith claim as well.

If necessary, I will pursue your case in court and I have had success when litigating stolen boat cases. Contact me today to schedule a free assessment of your situation. You do not have to fight your boat insurance company alone.
