Common Causes of Boating Accidents

As stated above, boating accidents are often preventable, meaning they are caused by someone’s careless, reckless, negligent, or wrongful actions. When this is the case, the at-fault party can be held legally liable for damages.

Some of the most common causes of boating accidents include:

• Inexperienced boat operators
• Operating a watercraft while intoxicated
• Failure to follow navigational rules
• Distracted boat operators/operator inattention
• Failure to keep a proper lookout
• Hazards in the water
• Poor weather/water conditions
• Excessive speed
• Defective parts
• Machinery failure

Because boating is often a recreational activity, many people do not treat it with the same level of care as operating another type of motor vehicle, such as a car or motorcycle. However, boating can be just as dangerous as driving. Operating a boat or personal watercraft while intoxicated, speeding, or failing to pay attention while out on the water is never acceptable—and the consequences can be severe.
