Negligence and Boating Accidents

To prevent injuries while boating, it’s important to know and follow Oklahoma’s boating laws and regulations.

Those on the water have a responsibility to operate their boats competently and carefully. This includes holding the appropriate license and driving the boat according to the laws and regulations of the lake. When drivers get reckless, an accident can occur. Some of the most common reasons for boating accidents include: 

• Negligent driving (speeding, inexperience, inattention, etc.) 

• Boating under the influence 

• Navigational errors 

• Capsizing 

People often get hurt in these accidents, leading to complex claims, financial burdens, and emotional and mental tolls. 

When we’re approached with a case, we take the time to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the accident to determine fault. Sometimes several parties may be held responsible. Our team works to ensure those parties are held accountable for their negligent actions. This can include the driver of the boat, the operating company, the manufacturer, or others.
