Boat Accidents – Each year, thousands of people are injured or killed in boating accidents. Boating or personal watercraft accidents are often due to negligence. These accidents can result in serious, even deadly, injuries. These accidents can happen on a privately-owned boat, a cruise ship, a jet ski, a ferry, or other various types of watercraft.
In the year 2009, there were 736 boat accident fatalities and 3,358 injuries from 4,730 recreational boat accidents in the United States.
