Arizonans love their boats. Boating goes on all year on our Arizona lakes and rivers. Boats can be a lot of fun, until something goes wrong. When things go wrong on a boat, a fun outing can quickly turn into a tragedy. Tragically, too many people are catastrophically or fatally injured in Arizona boating accidents every year.

Why Do Boat Accidents Happen?
Boat accidents that cause serious injury happen for a variety of reasons. At Cluff Injury Lawyers, our Boat Accident Team is prepared to handle any boat accident case, including boat accidents caused by the following:
- Drugs and Alcohol: Operating boats under the influence is a leading cause of boating accidents.
- Racing or Speeding: Boat operators are required to travel at reasonably safe speeds. Excessive speed kills on lakes and waterways, just like it does on roads and highways.
- Boat Collisions: Carelessness, distractions and disregard for safety lead to boats colliding with each other and other obstacles.
- Propeller Contact: Too often careless, inattentive boat operation results in someone being struck by the boat's propeller. The results are disastrous. Propeller contact injuries cause massive, disfiguring tissue injury, amputations and even death.
- Ejection from boat or pull toy: Persons are ejected from boats and pull toys when the boat operator makes unsafe turns or starts at unsafe speeds. Boat and pull toy ejections can cause serious and even fatal injuries to passengers.
- Violation of Regulations: Arizona has strict laws governing the safe operation of boats on our lakes and waterways. When boat operators violate these laws devastating injuries can and do occur.
