Injured Passenger In A Boating Accident

As a passenger in a boating accident, you’ve been injured and want to know who may be responsible for causing those injuries. The answer is, it depends on how the accident happened. You will look first at whoever was driving or operating the boat or vessel that you were in at the time, but you would also look to see if anybody else may be responsible.  For example, if the boat in which you were a passenger collided with another boat or another vessel of some kind, you would have to look to see whether the person operating the other boat or vessel was negligent in any way, and whether or not that negligence caused or contributed to your accident.
