In Florida boating is a popular pass time and activity, and it can be fun for families. However, water safety when boating is extremely important to remember especially when boating with children. Children may be injured or even killed when on a boat if they do not know how to swim, and fail to wear a life jacket. Therefore, it is essential that children are protected with life jackets, and that other boaters are careful when using there boats to avoid accidents. Florida law requires that children under the age of 12 wear personal flotation devices when aboard any recreational water vessel.

Boating accidents can occur if boaters are speeding, driving recklessly, or even driving a boat under the influence of alcohol. For instance, if a child is injured on a boat when another boat crashes into his family’s boat, the negligent boat operator may be held liable for the child’s injuries.
