Commentary:
With any summertime boating accident, there is always a great deal of alcohol out on the open water, which is puzzling, considering open-container in a motor vehicle has quite the stigma on land, it is seemingly an open-secret out on our lakes. If alcohol played a part in this accident, the owner of the boat could easily have a negligence claim against them, depending on how the facts line up.
