During the summer, Ohio residents escape to the numerous lakes and rivers throughout the state for boating, fishing, water skiing, wave runners, jet skis and other water sports. The increasing popularity of boating along with the explosion of personal watercraft has created more water traffic than ever before. Unfortunately, this pursuit of enjoyment can result in serious personal injuries, property damage and even fatalities because of the carelessness of watercraft owners and operators.
The most common causes of watercraft accidents in Ohio include:
• An intoxicated operator
• Inexperienced boater
• Collision with another boat or jet ski
• Boat sinking
• Boat fire / explosion
