San Diego Drunk Boating Accident Lawyer

This website is packed with valuable information to help you win your boat accident case. Be sure to check out our boating accident library.

Operating a boat or watercraft while intoxicated is a criminal offense, and drunk boaters who cause accidents are liable to victims for any injuries caused. Operating a boat with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 0.08 percent is a serious crime. Under State law and Federal law.

In most all states, a violation of the statute carries the same potential consequences as a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) convection, with its associated fines and jail time. Drinking and boating is all too common. Boating while impaired by alcohol accounts for up to 25% of all recreational boating accidents. Drinking whiled boating is deadly. We have seen this again and again.

It seems the openness or freedom of boating - no streets and lanes and such lead to carelessness. Alcohol breeds inattention - - which combined with carelessness and speed results in needless injury after injury and death after death.

According to the United States Coast Guard, a drunk boat operator is ten times more likely to die than a sober one.

Punitive Damages and Drunk Boating

A boater under the influence whom causes serious injury or death may also be subject to punitive damages. This means a jury can punish boaters for operating the vessel while intoxicated. And the award can deter other boaters from DWI boating.

It appears many boaters see little harm in drinking alcohol while out operating a vessel. Safety statistics research, and our experience prove otherwise. Drunk boating is a dangerous and preventable practice.
