What are Some Common Causes of Boat Accidents?
The best way to avoid a boat accident is to understand how these accidents typically happen. A Santa Maria boat accident lawyer from our firm can help explain the major causes of boat accidents and the procedures if you are involved in one. The California Department of Boating and Waterways (DPW) estimates that alcohol is involved in approximately 25% of all motorboat-related fatalities. In fact, a driver with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .10% or greater is ten times more likely to cause an accident than a sober driver. Even at a BAC of .035%, a boater’s ability to operate a watercraft is impaired. Understand these most common causes of boating accidents to stay informed and prevent them in the future:
