However, the fun can quickly turn dangerous if a boating accident happens. Each year, over 5,000 boating accidents occur in the United States. According to U.S. Coast Guard safety statistics, common causes of these accidents include inattention, inexperience, improper lookout, and excessive speed. Alcohol remains the leading factor in fatal boating accidents.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
In a boating accident, it depends on factors such as operator negligence, weather conditions, and more. California law requires boat operators to exercise reasonable care to avoid collisions and ensure the safety of their passengers and others on the water. Liability may hinge on whether the operator was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeded speed limits, or failed to follow navigational rules. The condition of the vessel also plays a crucial role in establishing fault. In cases where multiple parties are involved, determining liability may require a thorough investigation and expert testimony to clarify each party’s contribution to the accident.
