Dallas Boating Accident Lawyers

Jackson Allen & Williams, LLP - Representing boating accident clients in Dallas, Texas

For most people, boating is a fun recreational past time that seems relatively safe. However, there are definitely dangers associated with this favorite past-time that are often overlooked. Perhaps this is the reason why hundreds of boating accidents and boating accident injuries are reported each year in the United States. While that number may not seem too high, it is important to note that roughly 10 to 15% of all boating accidents are reported, which means that people suffer injuries, property damage and devastation without even bothering to report anything to appropriate officials.

When a person is operating a boat, he/she may be under the false assumption he/she does not have to follow any rules while out on the open water. However, boat operators must follow the same rules and regulations that motor vehicle drivers must adhere to. This means that boat operators should not consume alcohol, should be careful to adhere to maritime laws, and should exercise proper care while operating their boats.

People who operate boats negligently or who partake in dangerous behaviors, like drinking, while operating their boats have a greater chance of causing a serious boating accident, which can result in the injury or deaths of other people.
