Every summer, families and friends make incredible memories at Lake Ozark, MO. Fishing, tubing, water skiing, and similar aquatic activities draw locals by the thousands to the beautiful waters of the Lake of the Ozarks. However, when a boat malfunctions or an operator makes a careless mistake, a great day can turn tragic. Turn to Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer’s boat accident attorneys in Lake Ozark, MO.
Boats can be safe when operated correctly. Sadly, accidents can happen and not everyone can be trusted operating jet skis, waver runners, pontoons, speedboats, and more. Deadly boat accidents happen when people have been drinking, are unaware of how to safely operate their watercraft, or are negligent in their actions. These actions may not harm the operator, but people around them can be injured or killed.
Boating accidents are more likely to occur when an inexperienced operator is behind the wheel. According to the U.S. Coast Guard,
77% of boating deaths take place because the driver was undereducated about boat safety. Safe boaters on Lake of the Ozarks are vulnerable to these drivers, as well as those who are operating a boat while under the influence. If your loved one was injured or killed in a boating accident at Lake Ozark, MO, you need a caring but aggressive
personal injury attorney who will work hard for the compensation you need to pay for your loved ones' recovery or funeral expenses.
