Pennsylvania Boating Accident Lawyers
Boating accidents on Lake Erie and other area waterways are all too often the reason for painful and tragic accidents that leave boaters, passengers and water skiers injured. Fatal boating accidents may result when boaters who are unfamiliar with Lake Erie fail to recognize the dangers of a sudden storm on a shallow lake. Boaters and passengers have been injured and killed on Lake Erie for the following reasons:
- Storms that have led to boat crashes and drownings
- Fishing lines have gotten caught in propellers
- Drinking while operating a boat or jet ski
- The beautiful peninsula that stretches out into the lake, creating a natural harbor, attracts large numbers of out-of-town boaters, leading to congestion — and crashes — on the lake
- Boaters without adequate training take unnecessary risks
- Jet skis are used without regard for waterway traffic rules and regulations
