Liability in Tennessee Boating Accidents
In Tennessee, you have a right to seek compensation for damages suffered in a boating accident as long as the other party is at least 51 percent at fault.
The following are examples of fault in boating accidents:
• Boating while intoxicated (BWI)
• Failure to warn other boats that a skier is behind your boat
• Failure to use proper lights at night
• Driving at a high rate of speed
• Driving in a reckless or unsafe manner
It's important to contact a Clinton boat accident lawyer as soon as possible after the incident so that witness statements and evidence of liability can be collected and preserved. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to prove that the other party was at fault.
If you are a passenger in a boat that was involved in an accident, then you can bring legal action against whoever was at fault: The driver of your boat, the driver of the other boat or both drivers.
