BOATING ACCIDENTS

Ontario is home to the largest coastline in Canada. With this gift, Ontario has one of the largest number of registered boat users in the country. Unfortunately, many people are injured in boating accidents in Ontario each year.

Boating accidents can occur in a variety of situations ranging from ocean-going commercial and cruise line vessels to small pleasure craft on our navigable waterways and lakes. For motor vehicle accidents, we often refer to the Rules of the Road to determine each person's responsibilities in operating their vehicles in a safe manner. Similarly, there are rules established by the Coast Guard and various provincial and federal agencies that outline the rules for safe boating.

It has been our experience that some of the more common boating accidents involve:

• Driving too fast
• Drinking and driving
• Not maintaining a proper lookout to watch for other boaters and collisions
• Failing to yield to other boaters
• Night boating – inadequate lighting

Ontario boating accidents can result in many difficulties for an injury victim and his or her family, including extensive medical treatment and long-term pain and suffering. It is important you have an experienced, hard-working law firm on your side that will examine the facts of the boating accident, talk to witnesses, hire the right experts and fight on your behalf to win.
