The almost endless opportunities for both saltwater and freshwater boating draw millions of people to Florida waterways every year. Whether on coastal waters, bays, channels, rivers, or lakes, boating in Florida is at an all-time high. These boating activities involve everything from enormous yachts to cabin cruisers, sailboats, kayaks, canoes, houseboats, and jet skis. As a result of the growing popularity of boating and water sports, Florida ranks highest in all states for boating accidents. At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, we’ve seen how costly in terms of money, pain, and suffering such an accident can be. Our professional team has resolved innumerable boating accident cases in Port St. Lucie. We make it our job to provide legal service that you can count on.
Common Types of Boating Accidents
The U.S. Coast Guard reports that the top five types of boating accidents include:
- Collisions with other boats or vessels
- Flooding or swamping
- Collisions with fixed objects
- Grounding
- Skier mishaps
The top five causes of these accidents include operator inattention, carelessness or recklessness, passenger or skier behavior, excessive speed, and the use of alcohol onboard by operators and passengers. Boat or personal watercraft operators can be negligent as seen by several of the known causes of accidents. When you have been injured or have lost a loved one due to any of these careless behaviors, you may be entitled to rightful compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages or income, pain, suffering, and more.
