Attorney Bill Moore, who recently secured a $3.75 million result for a client injured in a boating accident, has created a resource for boaters, which provides answers to several frequently asked questions about boating safety, accidents, and the legal issues that can arise after a boating injury.
Every year, nearly 100 million people go boating on lakes, rivers, bays, and oceans across the United States, drawn by the freedom, relaxation, and adventure that comes with spending time on the water with family and friends.
While boating can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, unfortunately, boating accidents occur at an alarming rate. To help address these risks, the United States Coast Guard, in partnership with the National Safe Boating Council, designates the week leading into Memorial Day as National Safe Boating Week.
In an effort to help educate and protect members of the community around National Safe Boating Week and throughout the boating season, Bill Moore has provided answers to the following FAQs on boating accidents.
