Whether you are driving your own boat or a passenger in a boat being operated by someone you know or a stranger, there are some important steps you must take when getting into a boating accident. These accidents are more common than people think and can result in serious injuries. Boating accidents can usually be treated the same as when you are involved in a car accident. Get treated for your injuries, exchange relevant information, and file a claim with insurance companies. But it is much different if you are a passenger in a boat being driven by an employee. If you are involved in this type of boating accident, you need to file an incident report with the company, gather the driver’s and any witnesses’ information, take photos as evidence, and contact an attorney.
