Recreational Water Sports Accidents
Living in the Tampa Bay area, recreational water sports is a given for most people. From boating and fishing to Jet Skis and parasailing, the people of our area like to take advantage of our local waters. With so many people enjoying our bay and other local waterways, collisions between careless boaters and others can result in serious injuries and death.
Unlike car accidents, boating accidents have different areas of law applying to them. To secure the best outcome after being injured in a boating accident, the best choice you can make is to secure the representation of an attorney with extensive experience in accidents that occur on:
- Saltwater
- Rivers
- Lakes
- Canals
Drunk Boating
People often overlook the danger posed by drunk boating. Many people equate the freedom of boating as meaning there is less risk than driving. The fact is that drunk boating can be more dangerous than drunk driving. Excessive speed, varying weather conditions, and the inability to precisely control course and deceleration make a boat a deceptively challenging vehicle to control. When that lack of control is exacerbated by alcohol, it can be a deadly mix.
