Boating accidents occur largely because people underestimate the dangers of boating, those who are not proficient in the "Rules of the Road", carelessness or negligence of another boater, harsh weather and waterway conditions, and safety hazards.
Boating accidents generally occur as a result of negligence or carelessness, and may cause serious injuries, and even an untimely death which most likely could have been avoided.
There are many different types of boating accidents that can occur ranging from accidents or incidents during a recreational activity, to boating accidents on a larger scale, as with cruise ships, navy vessels, or maritime workers.
When an individual is injured in a boating accident, they must often endure medical treatment and physical therapy, which in some cases may last for months, years or even the rest of their life. These medical medical bills can be very daunting, and leave you pondering the uncertainty of how you will manage. Adding to this uncertainty, most boating accident victims also find themselves loosing essential wages due to missed time from work while recovering.
