Common Causes of Boating Accidents

Boating accidents are often preventable and may result from:

  • Operator inexperience or recklessness
  • Boating under the influence (BUI)
  • Speeding or violating navigational rules
  • Failure to maintain equipment or safety gear
  • Overloading or improper loading of passengers
  • Collisions with other boats, docks, or swimmers

Victims may suffer from drowning, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, spinal injuries, or other serious harm.

Who May Be Liable?

Depending on the circumstances, the following parties could be held responsible:

  • Boat operator
  • Boat owner
  • Rental company
  • Tour or charter business

We investigate every angle of your case to determine exactly what happened—and who should be held accountable.
