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.
