Injured In A Boating Accident On Lake Erie? We Can Help.

Boating accidents on Lake Erie and other area waterways often lead to painful and tragic accidents, leaving boaters, passengers and water skiers injured. The beautiful peninsula that stretches out into the lake creates a natural harbor, attracting large number of out-of-town boaters. Fatal boating accidents may result when boaters who are unfamiliar with Lake Erie fail to recognize the dangers of a sudden storm on a shallow lake.

Common causes of boater and passenger injuries and deaths on Lake Erie include:

  • Storms that lead to boat crashes and drownings
  • Fishing lines getting caught in propellers
  • Drinking while operating a boat or Jet Ski
  • Congestion from large numbers of lake users who are unfamiliar with the area
  • Boaters without adequate training taking unnecessary risks
  • Jet Skis used without regard for waterway traffic rules and regulations
