What to do if you have an accident while transporting your boat
Many folks in our area transport their boats to and from the water using a trailer. This means that there are more chances for their boats to be involved in an accident when they’re on the road.
If you are involved in an accident while towing your boat, the very first thing to do is to get to a safe location. Once you have reached safety, you’ll want to call the authorities to make a report of the incident. After everyone is safe and the police have been notified, you’ll want to call a towing service.
Make sure that the towing company that you use is approved by your insurance carrier. Be sure to take photos of the towing vehicle as well as the boat to document any damage that has occurred. You will want to have a thorough inspection completed on your boat to ensure that it is still seaworthy.
Don’t forget that when you are towing your boat, you will need to have adequate insurance to protect it from damage. Not all policies provide the same amount of coverage.
