The lure of the water makes boating a popular leisure activity in Florida. Unfortunately, if the proper safety precautions aren’t taken, boating can be extremely dangerous. Accidents can happen when a boat collides with another vessel, is overwhelmed by the wake of another boat, hits a wave, crashes into a pier or dock, or strikes a submerged object, rock or land.

What should I do after a boating accident?

If there is a boating accident, even if they don’t seem injured at the moment, contact emergency services immediately. This includes law enforcement and medical personnel when critical injuries might have occurred during this same time frame.
