Common Boating Accident Injuries That Happen in Las Vegas
The U.S. Coast Guard reports that, on average, there are over 4,000 boating accidents that occur nationwide every year. This staggering number often has little to do with the type of craft you are operating but the actual circumstances that led to the accident in the first place. Though watercraft collisions can result in a wide range of injuries, the most severe forms of trauma generally result from the following:
Water skiers and divers colliding with another watercraft
Boaters ramming a stationary object, such as a dock or bridge
Sinking a boat due to breaching its hull
Grounding a boat in shallow water or rocky areas
Falling overboard without a life vest
Impacting a boat’s active prop
