Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What procedures should a captain follow after a boating accident occurs?

A: Every year thousands of people are injured or die while engaging in recreational boating activities. According to the annual U.S. Coast Guard report on boating accidents, operator inattention is the number one contributing factor of accidents.

Although a lack of awareness may have contributed to an accident, it is important that attention is paid and certain steps are followed after the accident to minimize injuries and properly document what happened. Failing to do so may lead to criminal charges and a civil lawsuit for the boat's operator and owner. 

Immediately After An Accident

If an accident occurs, the operator of a watercraft must:

• Stop the vessel immediately at the scene of the accident, AND
• Assist anyone injured or endangered by the accident (unless this would jeopardize additional boaters), AND
• Give, in writing, operator name, address, and vessel identification to anyone injured, and the owner of any property that was damaged by the accident.
  

• the accident resulted in death, or
• the accident resulted in a serious injury.

• the accident resulted in death, or
• a person disappeared indicating a possible death or injury, or
• an injury occurred requiring medical attention, or
• therewas property damage in excess of $500.
