A Boating injury can occur as a result of several different reasons.
A common belief among boaters is that in the event of an accident the victim assumes all responsibility. This is simply not true in some cases.

Here are some situations where a boating accident victim is NOT at fault

• Purposely navigating into a large wave or wake at an unsafe speed or angle
• Ejections from a watercraft due to improper handling or knowingly navigating into bad weather
• Coming in contact with boat propellers
• Operating a watercraft at high speed
• Not keeping careful watch while a passenger is skiing or tubing
• Failure to educate oneself with navigational rules
• Colliding with other boats and/or watercraft
• Faulty watercraft design
• Improper boat repair
• Colliding with an immovable object, water buoy, dock or bridge
• Overcrowding or Overloading.
