Orange County Boating Accident Lawyer

Pontoons are ideal vessels for a relaxing day out on the water, but don’t let the fact that they aren’t speedboats cause you to think they are without any risk of danger. You might be surprised to hear that they cause more accidents a year than jet skis, due to reckless behaviors such as sitting outside the railings hanging feet off the side of the boat – leading to drownings, run-over accidents, propeller accidents, and other mishaps that cause serious injuries. The operators of the boat, as well as the businesses that rent pontoons to operators without proper training and without advising operators of dangers, can be held liable for injuries that result from their negligence and recklessness. Passengers on party boats are expected to drink alcohol, but it remains the responsibility of the owners and operators to take reasonable steps to maintain a safe environment on the boat. This means cutting off drinkers that are intoxicated, cleaning up spilled drinks, and providing ample security to deal with fights and other issues. If you’ve been injured in a pontoon or party boat accident, call The Text Kevin Accident Attorneys to discuss your right to right a claim.

Common Injuries From Boating Accidents

• Overboard Accidents can lead to propeller injuries, run-overs by other boats, and drowning;
• Propeller Accidents can cause severe lacerations, internal injuries, dismemberment, and scarring in a very short time, due to contact with rapidly spinning blades;
• Run-Over Accidents can cause spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, disfigurement, or death;
• Drowning Accidents occur when a passenger is unexpectedly propelled into the water without the ability to swim, are unable to swim due to injuries, or does not have a lifejacket;
• Slip and Fall Accidents occur due to wet conditions on decks and other hazards and can cause serious injuries, especially in high-wave conditions. Negligence in properly securing all objects on the deck can create hazards that cause serious injuries. Boat operators are responsible for making sure that ropes do not cause tripping hazards and that recreational equipment is put away when conditions do not permit them to be used safely.
