registrations, with well over a million registered boats. In addition, the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission estimates that over 350,000
non-registered boats actively use Florida’s waters. As a consequence, Florida’s waterways become
more and more congested. This leads to more accidents and boating injuries. While less than 10% of boating accidents in Florida result
in fatalities, nearly half of those occur because of capsizing and falls
overboard. An alarming 22% of the boating deaths were caused by alcohol or drug
use. Types of boating accidents our law firm handles, include: There are numerous causes of boating injuries; most of which
are avoidable. U.S. Statistics show a clear majority of boat accidents are
caused by operator inexperience or inattention. 70% of all boat accidents occur
on boats where operators had no formal boater education. Other reasons for
boating accidents include: Another cause of boating accidents and injuries is
drinking alcohol while operating a boat. This accounts for nearly one-quarter of all
recreational boating fatalities, and is, in fact, the number one cause of
boating accident fatalities. Because the effects of alcohol are magnified while
on the water, intoxicated boaters are more than 10 times as likely to be killed
in a boating accident because of reduced coordination, dehydration,
susceptibility to hypothermia, and impaired judgment. Our experienced maritime attorneys offer free consultations,
where will discuss your situation and injuries and review all the legal options
available to you.
