Causes of Boat-Related Accidents

Many individuals expect to spend a day on the water without worry. When individuals forget to operate any type of watercraft with care and consideration for other people in the water, the results could be devastating and life changing.

Common causes of boating collisions include:

• Boating under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or controlled substances
• Distracted operators
• Inexperienced operators failing to maneuver safely or respond quickly
• Malfunction or defect in a boating part, such as propeller failure
• Speeding or reckless operation
• Overcrowded boats, leading to passengers falling overboard or boats capsizing or overturning
