Protect Your Rights With a Riverside Recreational Boating Accident Lawyer
Boats and other recreational watercraft vehicles have the potential to be just as dangerous on California waterways as cars and trucks are on California highways and roads. Factors that commonly lead to boating accidents may include:
- Inexperienced operators
- Inattentive driving
- Poorly maintained boats and boat engines
- Weather conditions
- Alcohol and drugs
- Boating at night without lights and other proper safety features
- Fighting and horseplay
Boating accidents do not always involve boats colliding with one another. Sometimes, boats collide with piers, harbors and other structures. Other times, individuals on those boats will be knocked overboard or will be hurt on the boats themselves due to violence or negligent behavior.
