Boating is such a wonderful escape from everyday life, whether you are on a river, a lake or the ocean. As enjoyable as this activity is, there is also a great opportunity for disaster. Boating accidents can happen on a small boat, a cruise ship or a personal watercraft such as a jet ski. Possible injuries run the gamut from cuts, bumps and bruises to catastrophic and fatal. If you have been injured in a boating accident take action right away by talking to a Los Angeles personal injury attorney who can advise you on your legal rights and options.
The typical accidents are collisions, slip and fall accidents on board and sinking. Fatal boating accidents most commonly result from:
One irresponsible person on a boat outing can cause drowning, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, head and brain injuries, amputations, and other very serious injuries. An experienced boat accident lawyer has a thorough understanding of the safety rules and laws, along with the responsibilities of a boat owner and operator. An in-depth investigation into the accident which resulted in a client’s injury or loss of a loved one will bring to light any negligence and identify the liable parties. Although insurance companies do not like to pay out large amounts in compensation to boating accident victims, we have an impressive record of the successful recovery of damages for injured clients.
Enormous medical expenses are an additional source of stress when you are supposed to focus on recovering from your injuries.
