Boat operators are required by law to file a boating accident report with

their state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in

certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if 1) there

is loss of life or probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiring

medical treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats or other

property where the damage value exceeds $500.00, or 4) there is

complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law

enforcement.
