Gainesville Boat Accident Lawyer
With its proximity to the ocean and large numbers of rivers, lakes and waterways, Florida is a great state for boating, jet skiing and other water-based activities. Unfortunately, some boat and watercraft operators cause serious or fatal injuries as a result of their negligence.
Boating accidents are a significant problem, both in Florida and throughout the U.S. According to a recent report by the U.S. Coast Guard, more than 3,000 people were injured in boating accidents in 2009, causing more than 700 fatal injuries. The report concluded that alcohol is the leading contributor to fatal boat accidents. The report lists operator inattention, operator inexperience, excessive speed, improper lookout and alcohol as the top five causes of boating accidents.
