Boating Negligence

Personal Watercraft Accidents

Personal watercraft (“PWC”) is a type of recreational boat which has become increasingly popular in recent years. Manufacturers estimate that approximately 200,000 PWC’s are sold each year and there are more than one million currently in operation in the United States alone. Although the overall number of recreational boating fatalities has declined in recent years, the number of personal watercraft related fatalities continues to increase. PWC’s are the only type of recreational vessel for which the leading cause of fatalities is not drowning. In personal watercraft fatalities, more persons die from blunt force trauma than from drowning. Some of the safety concerns associated with personal watercraft, death and injuries include counter-intuitive operating characteristics of personal watercraft (off-throttle steering), lack of appropriate operator training and improper and inadequate warnings.
