Recreational boating is a popular weekend activity enjoyed by millions of in the state of Minnesota, otherwise known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." Minnesota even got its nickname because there are more than 12,000 lakes throughout the state. Unfortunately, far too often, this pursuit of pleasure results in bodily harm, property damage, serious injury, and even death.

As a general rule of law, the owner and/or operator of a boat or watercraft must excercise the utmost level of caution to prevent injuries from occurring to swimmers, passengers, or any other boaters located in the surrounding area.

In the State of Minnesota, boat and jetski accidents have many contributing factors, including:

overloading the boat or improperly loading the boat;
careless or reckless operation of the boat or jetski;
operating the boat or jetski without proper lookout;
inexperience or inattentiveness of the boat operator;
operating of the boat while under the influence; and
operating the boat at unsafe and excessive speeds.

Boating accidents often occur because of operator negligence and often result in serious and deadly injuries. Additionally, an increasing number of boating accidents involve alcohol.
