Hurt in a Boating Accident in or Around Oklahoma City?
Boating has grown as a recreational activity throughout our country. Each spring and summer, many people spend hours enjoying the warm weather on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters.

Boating Accident Injury Claims
According to 2013 Recreational Boating Statistics, published by the U. S. Coast Guard, more than 4,000 boating accidents occurred in the U.S. last year. These accidents resulted in 560 deaths and 2,620 injuries. The main causes of these accidents included "operator inattention, improper lookout, operator inexperience, excessive speed, and machinery failure." Another cause of boating accidents includes boating while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. All of these causes except for machinery failure can be viewed as negligence or carelessness on the part of the boat operator.
Boating accidents can involve serious injuries, such as broken bones, internal injuries, head or brain injuries, and more. Most people who die in boating accidents drown. In any case where negligence occurred, victims may seek damages for their medical expenses, lost earnings or income, pain, suffering, and emotional distress or damages connected with a wrongful death.
