It comes as a surprise to many people to learn that residents of Maricopa County own more boats per capita than any other county in the United States. With Phoenix and the surrounding communities located in the middle of the desert, it should come as no surprise that boating on Saguaro Lake, Bartlett Lake, Roosevelt Lake and Lake Mead is one of the area’s top recreational pastimes.
Unfortunately, the high number of recreational boaters also means an increased probability of suffering a boat accident injury, drowning or other wrongful death claims resulting from drunk boating or negligence.

The Arizona temperatures are heating up. Yep, summer is coming, and that means A LOT more boats and people on the lakes in Arizona. Fun times for sure, but as with most things, having fun also means being responsible in the way you have fun. When someone gets hurt, the fun is over—for everyone involved.
So, be responsible, and be safe. If something happens, you do have the right to hold the at-fault party legally responsible for your injuries, just like a car accident.
