Unfortunately, with that many people on the water, the odds of being involved in a boating accident increases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boating crashes frequently result in the loss of life, and they are becoming all too common. According to the United States Coast Guard (USCG), 28 people died in boating accidents in Alabama in 2019, the state\u2019s highest total in 20 years. Another five people in Mississippi died from boat accidents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or a loved one has been injured in a boat crash, you may be eligible for compensation. In this blog, the Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys team will outline what you need to know and what you should do if you are involved in a <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/boating-accidents-cause-serious-injuries-heres-what-you-should-know\/\">boating accident in Alabama<\/a> or Mississippi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boater Safety Starts with Life Jackets<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safety should be the first priority for all boating enthusiasts, in all types of personal watercraft, including motorboats, pontoons, canoes, kayaks, or rowboats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boater safety starts with life jackets, which are essential for anyone on the water. Even strong swimmers should wear a life jacket. The USCG reported that 82% of drowning victims in 2019 were not wearing a life jacket. If you fall off a boat, it is easy to become injured, disoriented, or even get knocked unconscious. A life jacket will help keep your head above the water until you can be rescued.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USCG reported that 82% of drowning victims in 2019 were not wearing a life jacket.

A life jacket will help keep your head above the water until you can be rescued.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some other things to keep in mind when you are on the water:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Take sunscreen, water, and know the signs of heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Bring an extra set of clothes in case you fall into cold water or get wet.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Be wary of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that is odorless and colorless, but can be emitted by combustion engines, outboard motors, and onboard generators.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Have spotters and hand signals worked out for water skiers, tubers, and wakeboarders.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Make sure the propeller has stopped before anyone gets back into the boat.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Causes of Boating Accidents<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boating accidents can happen for a lot of reasons. One common factor is people making poor decisions while driving a boat or watercraft. Dangerous habits cause many crashes, and those wrecks lead to death all too often.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the U.S. Coasts Guard\u2019s 2019 Recreational Boating Statistics Report, here are the 10 most common contributing factors to boating accidents:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Operator inattention:<\/strong> You should be aware of your surroundings, recreational vessel, and passengers to avoid potentially dangerous situations.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Improper lookout:<\/strong> Accidents can happen if no one is available to monitor water conditions and other watercraft, like jet skis or canoes, near your boat.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Operator inexperience:<\/strong> Young and inexperienced drivers need to know the basic rules of boating and understand how to operate their vessel.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Excessive speed:<\/strong> A speed limit isn\u2019t necessarily going to be posted on the water like it is on a highway, so use slower speeds to give you more time to react to situations and avoid collisions.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Alcohol use:<\/strong> The legal blood alcohol limit for boaters in Alabama is 0.08 percent and 0.10 percent in Mississippi.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Machinery failure:<\/strong> Maintenance checks should be regularly performed to ensure your boat is in proper working order.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Navigation rules violation:<\/strong> Many of these are similar to the rules of the road and should be followed to avoid crashes with other boats.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Weather:<\/strong> Sudden storms and heavy winds can create rough conditions and high seas, making operating a boat potentially dangerous.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Hazardous waters:<\/strong> Rapid tide and current changes often result in hazardous conditions.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Force of wave\/wake:<\/strong> The force from a large wave or wake caused by a boat&#8217;s hull can make a major impact on your vessel.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/boating-accidents-cause-serious-injuries-heres-what-you-should-know\/\">Boating Accidents Cause Serious Injuries. Here\u2019s What You Should Know<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s What You Should Do If You\u2019re Hurt in a Boat Crash<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing you should do if you are involved in a boating accident is seek medical attention for anyone that is hurt or injured. Even if you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019ve been badly hurt, a doctor can find hidden symptoms you might miss and help prevent long-term medical issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once everyone is safe, note that you are required by federal law to file a boating accident report with your state if you were the boat operator or owner of a vessel that results in any of the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The death or disappearance of any person from the boat<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>An injury that requires medical treatment beyond first aid<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Boat or property damage that is more than $2,000 in Alabama or $100 in Mississippi<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reports must be filed with your state\u2019s Marine Police Division within 48 hours if someone dies or requires medical treatment, or within 10 days if there is only boat or property.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take down the names and contact information of all the passengers that were on your boat at the time of the accident, along with the name, insurance, and contact information of the driver who hit your boat. Record everything you can remember about the crash, interactions with local law enforcement, and take pictures of any injuries and property damage. These details will be important if you file a personal injury claim.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You\u2019ve Been Injured in a Boating Accident, You May Be Eligible for Compensation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/maritime-injury-lawyer\/\">maritime injury attorney<\/a> can help you understand your legal options if you have been in an accident. Boating accidents can be challenging because a collision on the water won\u2019t leave the same kind of evidence as a car crash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experienced boat crash attorneys can help you uncover hidden accident causes, every available source of compensation, and ensure you get the best results possible. Your lawyer can help with other legal items you may be struggling with, including:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Organizing medical bills and liens<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Finding emotional support throughout the claims process<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Communicating with insurance companies and law enforcement agencies<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>And more, depending on your situation.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An experienced boating accident attorney can help you recover compensation to cover:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Pain and suffering<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Lost wages from missing work<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Medical bills and expenses<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Long-term treatment costs<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The repair of damaged property<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>And more, depending on your case<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you\u2019re not sure about working with an attorney, Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys can help you understand your options and what to do next.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys Can Help With Your Boat Injury Case<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys has a long track record of success with boating accident cases.
