Boating accidents can occur in the various waterways of the Long Island Sound, Great South Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean, due to the negligence or carelessness of another person on the water. Boating accidents may result in the injury of passengers aboard any of the boats involved in the crash. Anyone injured in a boating accident has a legal right to recover fair compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of another.
