Boat Accident Attorney NJThe United States and Canada are water wonderlands. Thousands of inland bodies of water, not to mention the Great Lakes themselves, offer boaters a huge number of locations ideal for boating, fishing, swimming and recreating throughout the year. During the summer months, residents in addition to millions of other tourists can make the more popular areas quite crowded which can quickly lead to accidents involving others.

According to the US Coast Guard, the number of boating accidents reported in 2013 was 4,062. Of these, 560 involved deaths and another 2,620 involved injures. This cost, a grand total of approximately $39 million dollars in property damage in 2013 alone. Further, the Coast Guard reports that only 13% of these had any boating instruction whatsoever.

Unlike motor vehicles, in many areas and on many types of boats, there is very little regulation regarding who can drive leading to less than responsible drivers. The majority of the boating accidents reported were caused by:

  • Operator inattention
  • Operator inexperience
  • Improper lookout
  • Excessive speed
  • Machine failure

However, the leading contributing factor of boating accidents today is alcohol. In close to half of all boating accidents, alcohol plays at least some role.
