Boating mishaps
Boating becomes more
popular each year. The
increasing number of boating
accidents are an unfortunate
byproduct of this popularity,
Boat owners should consider
to
coverage for damage or injury
others that might result from
their boating activities. Unless a
boat is stolen, its owner can be
held responsible ,if the craft is
involved in an accident,
according to the information
bureau of the Ontario Insurance
'
i
Agents'Assocrat on
The best protection is
liability insurance providing
coverage for the boat and
auxiliary property, and
specially -designed insurance for
the boater.
