Boat Accidents in Texas
Boat accidents in Texas are unfortunately common, largely due to the state’s extensive network of lakes, rivers, and coastal areas that attract countless boating enthusiasts each year. With over 7,000 lakes and numerous navigable waterways, Texas offers ample opportunities for recreational boating and fishing. However, these accidents can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities, making it crucial for anyone spending time on the water to understand the common causes.
Factors such as operator inexperience, alcohol consumption, and poor weather conditions are frequent contributors to these incidents.
