Due the lack of protection and restraint devices in a boat, almost all high-speed collisions result in serious injuries or death to the drivers and passengers. Many drowning victims were ejected from the boat following the impact.

Boating under the influence of alcohol (BUI) is a common factor in many boating accident injury cases. So is nighttime driving. A passenger who is injured in a boat accident may have a claim against the liability insurance company of the boat he or she was riding in, as well as the insurance company of the other boat.
If the injury was caused by a manufacturing defect or failure of boat, then the injured party may also have a product liability claim against the boating manufacturer.
