: Missouri Accident Lawyer BlogBlood Alcohol Limit For Missouri Boaters Lowered
By Ryan Bradley, Esq.
In response to a rash of Missouri boating accidents, Governor Matt Blunt signed legislation that lowers the legal blood alcohol level to .08.
The law, which goes into effect on August 28th, will make the legal limit for boaters equal to that of Missouri drivers. Previously, the limit for Missouri boaters was .10.
The law comes on the heels of numerous alcohol related accidents on Missouri waterways. The Missouri Water Patrol says alcohol was involved in all the fatal accidents on the Lake of the Ozarks in the past year.
Anyone who causes a death while boating under the influence will be charged with involuntary manslaughter, which could result in up to seven years in prison. This will also affect personal injury lawsuits as negligence in alcohol related accidents can be proved by citing blood alcohol regulation violations.
If you have been injured in a Missouri boating accident and would like a free legal consultation, contact us at The Bradley Law Firm. We have handled Missouri and Illinois boating accidents for over 30 years.
