South Carolina Boating Accident Attorneys
South Carolina’s mild climate lends itself to recreation and relaxation. South Carolina is home to 2,876 miles of shoreline and 437,672 acres of lakes including Lake Murray and Lake Wateree.
Our South Carolina coast and abundant lakes are a haven for recreational activities including boating, skiing and riding jet skis. With boating, whether you are in a motor boat, kayak, canoe, sailing, or on a jet ski comes an inherent danger, and unfortunately far too many people get hurt if something goes wrong.
According to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, in 2010, there were 107 boating accidents resulting in 26 fatalities.
Whether your boating accident is result of:
- An operator who is not paying attention,
- an inexperienced driver who should not be operating the boat,
- a boat driver who speeds and loses control,
- an impaired boat operator who is boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or
- defective equipment.
Although boating accidents do not occur as often as a car accident, they can be just as deadly. A crash or explosion can result in a fire and permanently disable or kill the driver or a passenger as well as any one near or around the boat.
