Tennessee is a great place for boating. Our scenic waterways provide ample opportunity for fishing, water sports, and other recreation. Unfortunately, this also brings the potential for Tennessee Boating Accidents.
Boating accidents and alcohol
Boating accidents are statistically far more likely to involve impaired operators than auto or truck accidents. In fact, according to recent statistics, approximately half of all boating accidents are attributable, at least in part, to alcohol impairment.
Boating accident damages
While only a small number of boating accidents involve fatalities, of those that do, most involve drowning. Nearly 90% of drowning victims in boating accidents were not wearing a life vest.
Boating accidents might include situations such as:
- A boat or boats capsizing, sinking, or flooding
- Passengers falling overboard
- Collisions
- Equipment malfunction leading to fires or other damages to the vessel
