Florida has over 10,000 miles of rivers, streams, and ocean coastline. All of this water makes Broward and Dade County ideal for people to enjoy cruise lines, jet skis, and wave runners. However, as enjoyable as these activities can be, they are also rather dangerous and can lead to serious injury.

Every driver of every boat has a responsibility to drive and navigate the water safely. Should the driver be negligent in this area, such as drinking too much or not paying attention to their course, the driver can be held liable for all injuries sustained as a result of the accident they cause.

On average, there are over 1,000 reported boating accidents every year in Florida. The majority of these deaths result from drowning, and in many cases these victims were not wearing life jackets.

Other injuries sustained in boating accidents can even include brain damage or spinal cord injuries.
