Boat Accidents and Injuries
An Overview
According to the United States Coast Guard in 2002, more than 12.5 million boats and personal watercraft (PWC) were registered in the United States. In particular, the use of personal watercraft, such as Jet-Skis and other brands, has exploded since the ’90s. Not surprisingly, the United States Coast Guard also reports that each year there are more than 8,000 boating accidents that result in more than 4,000 serious injuries and 800 deaths.
If you have suffered an injury on a boat, while boating or while engaged in other water sport activities, you should consult a personal injury attorney with experience handling such claims as soon as possible after the accident...
