On July 19, 2008, three friends spent nearly three hours at a waterfront bar on Candlewood Lake in western Connecticut before climbing into a 365-horsepower Formula speedboat for a ride home.

Just before 1 a.m., the speedboat driven by Richard Layton Jr. of New Milford collided with an 18-foot Triton bass boat carrying two fishermen, according to state investigators. Original source

AV-Rated Providence personal injury lawyer Mike Bottaro, founder of The Bottaro Law Firm, LLC, urges Rhode Islanders to stay safe on the water this season to avoid personal injuries from boating accidents. Boating accidents, like many causes of personal injury, are preventable. Boating is an activity that has the potential to harm many people if carried out irresponsibly. Therefore safety should be emphasized, as it could be the difference between life and death. May 19-25 is recognized by the National Safe Boating Council (“NSBC”) as National Safe Boating week.
