Five Most Common Causes of Boating Accidents
According to the United States Coast Guard, the most common causes of boating accidents are:
Operator inattention
Improper lookout
Operator inexperience
Excessive speed
Machinery failure
It is worth noting as well that according to the United States Coast Guard, the use of alcohol is the leading factor in fatal boating accidents.
Boating accidents could happen on any type of boat and in any body of water. If you are employed on a boat and have been injured in an accident while working on a boat, you may have additional rights. One of the issues often faced is that your employer may want you to return to work before you have made a full recovery. An experienced boating accident attorney can help prevent that from happening.
