Memphis Boating Accident Lawyer

Serving throughout Tennessee and Mississippi

Tennessee and Mississippi are two states where people love to fish, water ski, wakeboard, or simply take their boats out for the day to enjoy the weather with family and friends. Tragically, hundreds of people will die this year in boating accidents. Most boat accident injuries are preventable as many are caused by operator inexperience or inattention.

Roughly 70% of all boating deaths happen on boats where the driver has not completed a boating safety education course. The primary causes of accidents include:

• operator inattention
• careless/reckless operation
• operator inexperience
• operating at an unsafe speed
• no proper lookout

Boat Accident Prevention

When driving a boat, measures can be taken to prevent a Tennessee or Mississippi boat accident injury or to minimize the damage if an accident occurs:

• Always wear life jackets and dress for possible immersion.
• Be aware that cold weather is more dangerous. There are fewer boaters and patrols to rescue those in distress, and the water is much colder.
• Do not drink alcohol while on the water.
• When on large bodies of water, take advantage of available distress-alerting and position-indicating technologies.
