Stationary Object Collision
On the water, there are many hazards about which a boater must remain aware so that he or she can avoid causing or becoming involved in a preventable accident. The presence of swimmers, kayakers, and other vessels might come to mind but stationary objects can also pose a threat to boater safety in the event of a collision. Remnants of old piers, abandoned objects, anchored watercrafts, sand bars, jutting rocks, and other obstructions can all inflict substantial harm upon a boat traveling at any speed. Occasionally, the conditions at the time of an accident make it impossible to evade the object.
If you have been injured or suffered property damage due to another party’s negligence which led to a collision with a stationary object, then you may be able to pursue financial compensation through a legal action against the responsible person or entity.

Effects and Injuries of Stationary Object Collisions
The extent of the physical and financial harm that is associated with a particular accident can be influenced by many different factors. These include the speed at which a vessel is traveling, the angle at which it strikes the fixed object, and the characteristics of the object itself. But the kinds of effects and injuries associated with stationary object collisions tend to be fairly similar and may include:
- Drowning
- Severe Lacerations
- Severe Contusions
- Burn Injuries
- Hull Penetration
- Rudder Displacement
