Though boating seems like a purely recreational enjoyment, there is certainly a dangerous element to putting so many people and fast-moving vehicles in the water. For the roughly 180,000 registered boats in Oregon, there are annually around 70 accidents. That may not seem excessive, until of course you factor in the statistic that only 10 to 15 percent of boating accidents are even reported.
If you've been injured in a boating accident and someone else was at fault, you may well have cause to pursue compensation. There are those who will drink and "drive" their boats, commercial ventures that don't provide proper life-saving equipment, and the like. Just like a car accident, it's possible to be fairly compensated for your injuries. However, this involves getting a good Oregon boating accident attorney on your side immediately.
