7 BIG MISTAKES to Avoid After a Motorcycle or Bicycle Accident
DO I HAVE A CASE?
In 2004 there were 894,884 boats registered in California, the third highest number in the U.S. California was third, as well, in boating accident fatalities: 43 people died in 2003. With almost ten thousand miles of shoreline and lakeline, that statistic is not surprising.

Who is at Fault in a Boating Accident?
Boating accidents can occur from a number of different causes, but the most common is operator error. The operator, or driver, of a watercraft is always responsible for the actions of his/her boat. Careless maneuvering, negligent operation of a boat, unsafe speeds, and inattention can lead to collisions with other boats, collisions with jet-skis and wave runners, and injuries to boat passengers, water skiers, and swimmers.
One-third of boating fatalities are alcohol related. Drunk boat operation is illegal (operating a boat with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or greater). But boat operators are also responsible for the actions of drunk passengers on their boats, when those actions result in injuries.
When a boat operator is at fault in causing the injury or wrongful death, you may have a claim against the driver’s insurance for the injuries and damages you’ve suffered.
Some boating injuries are caused by faulty boating equipment (such as defective auto pilots) or the improper design of a boat, in which case you may have a claim against the boat manufacturer.
