WATER-TUBING ACCIDENTS ON MINNESOTA LAKES
Summer is finally here, and many Minnesotans are headed to the lakes. We want to enjoy our few months of beautiful weather and great boating and fishing activities.
Unfortunately, every year there are injuries on MN lakes from waterski accidents, boat accidents, jet ski accidents and tubing accidents. What’s more, most of these accidents are preventable. They happen because a boat driver is not paying attention or is driving too fast.
Our accident injury attorneys know that a water tube accident can happen for many reasons. In most cases, the driver of the boat pulling the tube is going too fast or not driving carefully. There have even been tubing cases where the driver of the boat drove the tube into a dock. If the boat driver is not paying attention, he can pull the watertube in front of another oncoming boat causing a collision. These types of boat accidents also happen because of driver inexperience generally or inexperience pulling a water tube.
Injury from a water tubing accident can be serious because of the speed the tube is traveling on the water. Also, there is very little protection for the people in the tube who are being pulled. Therefore, the injuries can be serious, and result in large medical bills.
HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE FOR BOAT ACCIDENT
Fortunately, most people who own a boat have homeowners insurance. If you are injured in a water tube accident, the homeowners insurance of the boat owner may pay your medical bills, lost wages, and other compensation.
