Boating is a pastime that thousands of Ontarians participate in throughout the year. Occasionally, accidents can happen due to the negligence of others.

If you’ve been in a boating accident in Ontario you need the proven skill and knowledge of the personal injury law firm of Heidi Louise Bergeron, with over 20 years of experience representing victims of boating accidents.

The causes of boating accidents vary greatly. The most common type of accident involving open motorboats is collision with another vessel, followed by accidents involving skier mishaps, and falls overboard.

The leading causes of accidents with both open motorboats and personal water craft are:

  • Operator inattention
  • Operator inexperience
  • Speeding
  • Alcohol

Did you know that if an accident occurs on boat, Ontario law requires that the boat operator must file an accident report? If the operator is unable to file this report, the owner of the boat is responsible for filing an accident report.

Your accident injuries, if they are the fault of another’s negligence, or faulty equipment, may entitle you to compensation for those injuries.
