Common Types of Boat Accidents
Boat accidents can be caused by a number of issues, from dangerous or defective parts, intoxicated boat operators, inattentive operation, inexperienced boaters, reckless or dangerous operation (such as speeding or swerving).
Boating accidents range from serious to minor, including:
- Collisions with other watercrafts
- Capsizing
- Crashes with fixed objects
- Falling overboard
- Swamping
- Grounding
- Fires due to defects
Even if you exercise extreme caution when on the water, you cannot guarantee that other boat operators will do the same. If you or a loved one were injured in a boat accident, Attorney Larson can help you review all the evidence involved and build a strong claim on your behalf.
