While South Florida's miles of sandy beaches and serene waters provide an oasis for millions of tourists and visitors - it also harbors some of the most dangerous boating in the United States.

   As an avid boater and fishing enthusiast, Bruce L. Scheiner knows not everyone on the water demonstrates the boating knowledge and respect for others that are critical to enjoying the water safely.

   Nowhere in the country are their more registered boats than in Florida, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which put 1 million in the state - beating even California as the nation's boating capital.

   And nowhere in the state are their more boats, or more accidents, than South Florida. Four of the state's top 10 counties for boating accidents were in South Florida and accounted for almost 200 of the state's 670 accidents in 2007: Monroe County (Florida Keys) 74, Miami-Dade, 67, Lee County 32 and Collier County 18.

   Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, has handled numerous cases involving boaters who were seriously injured or killed by someone operating a boat negligently on the Caloosahatchee River or in the Gulf of Mexico.

   On the water, the captain of each and every vessel is responsible for his/her actions and the effect his/her actions have on other boaters. In Florida, each boater is responsible for the effect his/her wake has on other boats and boaters.
