Since California is on the coastline, people are constantly using the state’s waterways for boating and fishing. Unfortunately, more people on the water typically means more boating accidents. According to the California Division of Boating and Waterways, around 500 Californians are injured and 50 are killed in boating accidents in California each year.

Get Compensation for Your Boat Accident Injuries
Boat accidents can refer to a number of incidences and usually occur because of:
- Inexperienced operation
Many of the people operating watercraft on California’s waterways do not have proper training or adequate experience operating their vehicles.
- Operator inattention
A day out on the water is a fun way to relax and relieve stress. But countless distractions mean some vehicle operators may not be paying attention to other vehicles, channel markers, and other safety concerns .
- Boating while intoxicated
Drugs, alcohol, and other substances can impair operator’s judgement and reaction times, creating dangerous circumstances where accidents are likely to occur.
If you were injured by the propeller of a boat, were struck by a boat while using a recreational watercraft, or were on a boat that capsized or collided with another vessel, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
