North Georgia has dozens of lakes, rivers, and streams that are popular among both our state’s residents and tourists. The Chattooga, Chattahoochee, Coosa, Tallapoosa, and the Etowah Rivers are among the most frequented. The largest, best known and most popular lakes in North Georgia are Lake Lanier, Lake Altoona, Lake Hartwell, Lake Chatuge, and Lake Russell. Boats and personal watercraft are on these lakes and rivers during all seasons of the year for fishing, kayaking, skiing, rowing, and other recreational activities, including swimming during the summer months.
No one intentionally sets out to wreck their boat, or harm another boater. Knowing how to operate a boat safely and within the confines of the law is the responsibility of every boat owner. But Georgia’s boating laws are changing, and if you have been involved in a boating accident, you need an attorney who is familiar with the latest changes in the law and how they effect your case (Read more about changing Georgia Boating Laws on our blog). Some common causes of boating and watercraft accidents include:
- Unfavorable weather conditions
- Equipment failure
- Operating the boat recklessly or carelessly
- Operating while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Operating the boat too aggressively
- Negligence
Operating a boat or other watercraft on Georgia’s lakes and rivers comes with a responsibility to your passengers and others on and in the water.
