California Boating Accident Attorney
Los Angeles Jet Ski Injury Lawyer Protecting the Rights of Boat Accident Victims
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, an average year sees nearly 5,000 serious accidents aboard personal watercraft. These accidents result in more than 700 deaths and 3,000 injuries. Boating accidents are a major cause of serious personal injury and drowning deaths along the California coastline as well as in our inland lakes and rivers.
Victims of watercraft accidents caused by the negligence of another are entitled to compensation for losses associated with these accidents. However, personal injury claims based on boating accidents can be very complex, as they may involve California state law, admiralty law and maritime law. It's important for you to contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible after a boating accident.
