BMI is the abbreviations of Body Mass Index, an estimate of obesity determined by body weight and height. Weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared (kg/m2). It is an adjusted ratio of weight to height; used to define "overweight”; a ratio of body weight and height that is related to total body fat.
Boat accidents are incidents involving watercraft that occur unexpectedly and often under stressful conditions. While boating is usually associated with leisure or recreation, accidents on the water can quickly become frightening experiences. Conditions may change without warning, visibility can be limited, and escape options are often restricted. Because of this, the effects of a boat accident are not always limited to physical injury. Emotional and cognitive responses frequently follow and can shape how a person feels about water, safety, and risk long after the incident has ended.
When questions about responsibility arise, some individuals seek practical guidance by consulting a boat accident lawyer to better understand possible next steps related to medical costs, emotional harm, or other consequences linked to the accident.
