Boating accidents often require a report to be given to either a state agency regulating boats and/or the United States Coast Guard. If the boat operator is involved in a collision with another boat or an "allision," a collision with a fixed object or non-moving vessel, he or she should contact the state agency regulating boats immediately to ascertain if a report is required. Failing to remain on the scene, render aid, and report the boating accident to an appropriate law enforcement agency in a timely manner is a crime. If an injury was caused or property damage was incurred, the appropriate insurance companies should be contacted. If someone else was responsible for the collision, contact our experienced boat accident attorneys as soon as possible.
