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.

Unexpectedly, I found myself in need of consulting with a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. While shopping in a certain beloved grocery store, which shall remain nameless, I had an accident. A banana of all things was my downfall. Being that I did not place the banana in question on the floor of the grocery store, it was my assumption I had a case for the injuries I sustained due to this slip & fall. Which was more like a slip & crash backwards because I surely took the banana display down with me. After leaving the hospital, I called 411 pain mostly because the radio keeps telling me to. This was all I could think to do, but they were not helpful & in fact, I felt very overwhelmed. So I turned to Google & searched for law firms. Studstill law firm caught my attention & I gave them a call. I was told to talk with Jennifer who could answer my questions. I must say, I really appreciate her patience & understanding because I do tend to ramble on a bit. She was professional & kind, never made me feel rushed. She did not even laugh when I told her what happened. I appreciate this because even the doctors & nurses at the hospital laughed at the cause of my injury. Thank you Jennifer & Studstill lawfirm for helping me through this process.- Joseph
