Bronx has more boat accidents each year than any other state. These boat accidents occur mostly because people underestimate the dangers of watercraft as compared to other vehicles and simply do not understand the safety laws. Boating education is important to limit boat accidents.

Unfortunately, many states like Bronx do not require any yachting or boating instruction or limit a vessel over a certain length or mandatory instruction to operators under a certain age. This endangers many people behind the wheel of a boat, yacht or helm of personal watercraft without any knowledge of that vessel’s operating characteristics.

Other safety precautions that can limit boating and yachting injuries like wearing life jackets, installing kill switches are not properly utilized. Every boat accident lawyer present at Frekhtman & Associates have operated boats, know the safety laws and navigational rules.
