Successful Boat Accident Attorney in St. Louis, MO
We frequently witness or hear about drivers who are too inebriated or inexperienced to pull skiers, wakeboarders, or tubers securely. They must be aware of the ideal speed and weather for every water activity. Jet skis or other watercraft may run into one another, turn over, or strike swimmers or docks. On Missouri's waterways, boating mishaps occur frequently. Contact the Mandel Law Group if you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a boat or other watercraft mishap.
Common Types of Boating Accidents
- Falling Overboard
- Crashing into Another Vessel
- Crashing into Dock or Fixed Object
- Watercraft Flooding
Accidents Can Happen at Any Time on the Water
Due to their inability to maneuver, slow boats can be hazardous. More agile watercraft, like jet skis, can avoid peril more rapidly, but because they lack protection, they are more likely to prove fatal. More often than not, operator negligence is to blame for a watercraft accident's outcome. Each year, hundreds of accidents and dozens of fatalities are caused by failure to see another boat, improper signal use, or attention to something other than the sea conditions. While there are comparatively fewer mishaps due to alcohol use, it causes the majority of fatalities.
