The State of California has over 840 miles of coastline. If you take into account all the inlets and islands, California's coastline stretches to 3,427 miles. Second only to Florida, California has over 1,000,000 registered recreational vessels and has the second highest water sport accident rate in the United States. Water sport activities such as boating, jet skiing and water skiing are popular activities in California year round, but especially during the spring and summer months. These activities pose a unique danger of serious personal injury and death and involve complex legal and safety issues.

Collisions with other boats, or other type of water craft, is the most common cause of serious injury and death in boating accidents. Other causes of injury are slip and falls, reckless driving, drunk driving, boat malfunctions and inexperienced water craft operators. It is a general rule of law that the owner and operator of a boat has a duty to exercise the highest degree of care in order to prevent injuries and death to others.

Any injury that occurs on or with a boat, ship, ferry or personal water craft (jet ski) is considered a boating accident.

Our firm is committed to protecting our client's rights and has repeatedly demonstrated our ability to succeed in the most challenging and complex injury cases.
