Boating on the New Jersey shore is a popular pastime. Our state is blessed with an exceptional coastline that attracts numerous visitors every year. Unfortunately, many boaters fail to exercise the same caution when operating a boat or Jet Ski as when they are driving a car. This disregard for basic safety leads to thousands of accidents every year on waterways such as:
- Barnegat Bay
- Manasquan Inlet
- Barnegat Inlet
Drunk Boating Is a Major Cause of Injury
One of the main causes of boating accidents is the consumption of alcohol. Drinking is a popular activity while boating. Many people who may have a clear understanding of the dangers of drunk driving, fail to see the harm of drinking while boating until it is too late.
Investigations of Boating Accidents Requires Skill and Experience
Accidents that occur on the water are inherently more difficult to investigate than accidents that occur on roadways. Factors that increase the difficulty of investigating boating accidents include:
- The lack of a defined roadway where skid marks or other evidence that may be gathered.
- The possibility of evidence sinking or drifting away.
