Boating accidents are caused for several reasons. Those reasons may consist of operator negligence, speeding, inexperience or no lookout. Some boating accidents are a result of a defect in the boat. If this occurs, the operator may have a lawsuit against the boating manufacturer.

In 2008, there were nearly 3700 boating related casualties. These fatalities occurred in five different types of boats. The boats consist of open motorboat, personal watercraft, cabin motorboat, canoe/kayak, and rowboat. While the number of boating accidents rose from 4,967 in 2006 to 5,191 in 2007. That number appeared to decline in 2008. In 2008, over 510 deaths were related to drowning and all but 49 were not wearing a life jacket.

Most of the boating fatalities in 2008, were related to operator negligence or recklessness. However, there were other causes of boating fatalities. The top ten reasons for boating fatalities are listed below:

Alcohol UsePassenger or Skier BehaviorWeatherOperator InexperienceCareless or Reckless OperationExcessive SpeedOperator InattentionMachinery FailureForce of Wave or Wake

As it is important not to drink and drive a motor vehicle, it is also important not to drive a boat while under the influence of alcohol. It impairs the operator’s judgment and may result in fatalities. There were 124 boating deaths related to alcohol use. Almost half of the 276 boating accidents related to alcohol resulted in death.

The single most cause of injuries or boating accidents were a result of reckless operation of the boat. Of the 492 accidents associated with careless or reckless operation, 392 resulted in injuries.

Canoers and kayakers also suffered a large number of fatalities totaling nearly 230.

Exercising safety precautions while on a boat is of utmost importance. Some fatalities occur due to weather, malfunction, and waves. These types of accidents may be unavoidable in some instances. However, the leading cause of death was due to falling overboard, and the second cause of death was collisions. Each of these types of deaths are avoidable with the proper operation and safety jackets.

Summer is almost here and many people are always ready, enjoy their boat. A boat can be excellent source for fun and relaxation whether wakeboarding or fishing. However, a fun afternoon can quickly turn out on the water in a fatal boating accident.

The family purpose doctrine in Georgia applies to automobiles and boats. The doctrine States that an owner of a vehicle, the vehicle for the use and the comfort of his family, managed that owner for negligence a member of the family can be made liable, that the vehicle purpose was used for a family. For example, a son of the family takes over boat the weekend while they are on the Lake. The son meets an another boat and the people on the ship badly hurt. The father and owner of the vessel can be held responsible for his son's accident.

There are five elements to the family purpose doctrine, that if a victim sues an owner of a boat for negligence must be demonstrated:

The person has sued or has an interest in or control of the boat, which was distributed through negligence.The driver of the boat who was negligent is a member of the family (i.e. spouse, adult, or small child, siblings, etc.), lives in the household of the owner. On loan to the owner or a member of the family for "Joy, comfort and convenience" the vehicle to the members of this family. the owners of the borrowers has permission or consent at the time of the accident the boat for a "family purpose" use.It was enough authority and control over the use of the boat that there is no doubt that there was a relationship between the owner and the borrower.

Another way that a boat can Georgia liable his or her boat during the negligent act of entrustment is doctrine caused for an accident of someone else worked. A boat can be liable for negligent entrustment Act where the owners experience a boat to someone who is incompetent because of age, loans, physical and/or mental condition or has known habit of ruthlessness. If the person used the boat an accident because of this ignorance, incompetence or recklessness caused, can be the boat owners liable for severe injury or wrongful death.

As an example allows a boat intoxicated take brother to know that the brother was intoxicated the boat on the Lake. If then the brother in a serious accident is boating and innocent people injured, the boat can be liable to for the boot someone who certainly work not in a position, the boat was entrusted.

Georgia imposed also legal agents liability on boat owners under O.C.G.A. § 51-1-22, the wider than under the family use doctrine. The Statute allows lends liability on a boat for injuries caused by the negligence of anyone to anyone, which the owner his or her boat, as long as it is explicit or implied consent, be imposed. If a member of the family used the boat will know the Statute, and implied consent. This boating statute places very broad liability on boat owners.

A boat can be just as dangerous as driving on public roads. People who drive boats are often on vacation and take a more relaxed approach you to operate a boat. Regularly drink a few people who never drink and drive at the boating. Boat owners underestimate sometimes the potential danger of a serious boating accident, because the amount is roadway traffic and traffic jams not so serious as to Georgia.

The potential for fatal boating accidents can add all of these conditions. If this dangerous mix some the inexperience of the boat operators is added, the results are often tragic.
