Reporting Boating Accidents
The operator or owner of any recreational boat is required to file a Boating Accident
Report (BAR) if the boat is involved in an accident that results in:
1. Loss of life; or
2. Personal injury which requires medical treatment beyond first aid; or
3. Damage to the boat and other property damage of $2,000 or more; or
4. Complete loss of the boat.
Boat operators are required to report their accident to local authorities in the State where
the accident occurred.
Fatal Accidents
Immediate notification is required for fatal accidents. If a person dies or disappears as a
result of a recreational boating accident, the nearest state boating authority must be
notified without delay. The following information must be provided:
•
Date, time and exact location of the accident;
•
Name of each person who died or disappeared;
•
Number and name of the vessel; and
•
Name and address of the owner and operator.
Reporting Timelines
•
If a person dies, disappears from the boat, or there are injuries requiring medical
treatment beyond first aid, a formal report must be filed within 48 hours of the
accident.
•
A formal report must be made within 10 days for accidents involving property
damage of $2,000 or more, or complete loss of a vessel.
The U.S. Coast Guard Infoline
If you need further information regarding accident reporting, please call the U.S. Coast
Guard Infoline at 800-368-5647.
Rendering Assistance
The master or person in charge of a vessel is obligated by law to provide assistance
that can be safely provided to any individual in danger at sea.
The master or person in charge is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment for failure to do
so.
Note: State requirements for Reporting Boating Accidents may be more
stringent than Federal (i.e. some States require ALL boating accidents to be
reported immediately). Check with the Boating Law Administrator in the State
where the accident occurred for proper reporting procedures.
