Burks & Ogle maintains their office at 800 S Gay Street, Suite 1900 in Knoxville, Tennessee, providing dedicated representation for boating accident victims throughout East Tennessee.

The firm investigates accidents caused by alcohol use, which creates a dangerous mix with sun exposure and impairs judgment even below legal limits.

The attorneys handle various types of watercraft accidents involving airboats, cabin cruisers, canoes, kayaks, jet skis, sailboats, falls overboard, collisions, and propeller injuries.
