San Diego Parents Need To Take Extra Precaution When Bringing Their Children Near Water. A Child Boating Accident Can Happen In The Blink Of An Eye.
Children can be hard to handle sometimes, especially when they are having fun at a San Diego pool, beach, or near the water. Summer in Southern California is a great time to take the kids out on some water adventures, but before you do, make sure they know the rules and will be safe.
Have them wear a fitted life jacket any time they are in or near the water. Yes, it can look silly, so wear a life jacket in front of them to set a good example and for your own protection. It's also good to have someone watching them at all times. Remember, water wings, toys, rafts, and air mattresses are not life jackets and shouldn't be substituted for one.
Remember, drinking and boating is one of the most common causes of boating accidents. It puts you, your family, and others out in the water at risk. Do not take your family's safety lightly and follow these easy safety tips.
In Case Of An Accident
If a water accident or boating accident does occur, seek medical attention immediately. If the injuries were caused because of someone else's negligence, you are entitled to receive compensation that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Remember, drinking while boating is against the California law and has steep consequence.
If an accident happens, the State of California requires vessel operators to report the incident to the California Department of Boating and Waterways (CDBW).
