Question

What is the statute of limitations on a boating accident in florida?

Answer 1

Be more specific. Statute of limitations for what?  Criminal charges arising out of the accident, or for filing a civil claim for damages/injury arising out of the accident? The two are probably different.

Answer 2

when you no longer  (visually) see the other boater involved .. you're clear and free ... dude.!!!!

Answer 3

Your question is too vague. Statute of limitations in regards to what issue? Did you injure someone? Were you injured in another person's boat? Did you fail to report a boating accident? Your state's Wildlife & Fisheries department can advise you.

Edit: Found some additional info for you.

BOATING ACCIDENTS

The operator of a vessel involved in a boating accident where there is personal injury beyond immediate first-aid, death, disappearance of any person under circumstances which indicate death or injury, or if there is damage to the vessel(s) and/or personal property of at least $2000, must, by the quickest means possible, give notice to one of the following: the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the sheriff of the county in which the accident occurred, or the police chief of the municipality in which the accident occurred, if applicable.

It is unlawful for any person operating a vessel involved in a boating accident to leave the scene without giving all possible aid to the involved persons and without reporting the accident to the proper authorities.
