Common Causes of Boating & Jey Ski Accidents

Most boating accidents in Georgia can be attributed to negligence or recklessness on the part of the operator of a motorboat, airboat, jet ski, wave runner or other personal watercraft (PWC). 

As a recreational activity, speed is often part of the excitement of operating a powerboat or PWC, and activities, like crossing another watercraft's wake or driving close to another, may add to the thrill.

However, these actions are dangerous and can lead to personal injury or wrongful death. Reckless driving, inattention, and boating under the influence are also common actions that can lead to serious accidents or injuries.

Understanding "Vicarious Liability" in Boating Accidents

A conscientious operator may also be inexperienced or overmatched for the watercraft he or she is piloting. In such situations, the owner or another individual who allowed the vehicle to be piloted by an unqualified person may face liability as well. 

This “vicarious liability” can make employers liable for their employees’ negligence, parents liable for allowing their children to operate a boat, and rental companies responsible for who they put on a watercraft.

Boating accidents can also be caused by faulty equipment. Defective design or manufacture of the boat or PWC can cause a failure at a critical moment, resulting in a crash, explosion, capsizing or other serious accident.

    “The most professional, caring, group of people we or anyone in need could have by your side.”
    After being injured on the job…I became worried of loosing my job and being the sole income in our home, my wife and I were going through a mini hell on earth for what we were going to do. My wife, THANK GOD, found the Studstill Firm and from the first meeting, we were treated with dignity and grace. They were quick to take charge and responded to our every need. We found their staff and associates to be the most professional, caring, group of people we or anyone in need could have by your side. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend the Studstill Firm and they will always be on our speed dial. Thank you Mrs. Studstill for being there for us.

    “From the beginning I have been treated as a member of the “family.””
    I have known and worked with the staff at the Studstill Firm for many years. From the beginning I have been treated as a member of the “family.” They have gone out of their way to assist me in my business dealings. There’s not a finer bunch than the Studstill Firm. I highly recommend them!
    - Jenny
    “I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am, my experience with you is by far the best!”
    I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am with how you handled my case throughout; and it has nothing to do with the fact that you earned me a favorable settlement. Honestly the amount of the settlement mean little compared to the quality of service I received. I’ve dealt with lawyers in the past and my experience with you is by far the best! What makes it the best is: You communicated EVERYTHING clearly from beginning to end (no surprises) Your response time was ALWAYS fast Your staff is professional and thorough You applied yourself diligently to make SURE I was protected by law and that I received EVERYTHING I was entitled to by law You NEVER made me feel pressured to make a decision or do anything I didn’t feel comfortable with Overall and throughout the process, I felt as if you cared more about ME as a client than about making money. I just felt as if I had a “good person” working on my behalf.
