North Carolina is a destination for boating activities, whether in our state’s several likes or along the Atlantic coast.
Unfortunately, boating can also be hazardous, resulting in severe and tragic accidents.
Types of Boating Accidents
North Carolina boating accidents are typically caused by negligent acts, usually by the boat’s operator or passengers. Boats do not provide much protection for passengers, so the likelihood of severe injuries, or even death, can be high. Types of boating accidents include:
- Hitting a fixed object
- Hitting another boat
- Crashing another watercraft (for example, jet ski or kayak)
- Incidents involving high-speed boating
- Grounding
- Incidents involving alcohol or drugs while operating a boat
- Inexperienced, underage, or unlicensed boat operators
- Failing to abide by North Carolina and Federal laws and regulations affecting boating and waterways
