California Boating Accident LawyerRecreational boating is a popular pastime in California. Residents and visitors enjoy a wide range of boating activities on our reservoirs, lakes, and rivers. When people suffer injuries or wrongful death in a boat accident, the operator or boat owners may be held liable for damages. If you’ve been injured in a boating accident, the right California personal injury lawyer can make certain that you recover the maximum benefits you deserve under the law. If you or a loved one has been involved in a boating accident, you need the very best attorney. The Gomez Law Firm can help. In boat accident cases, we work with a team of investigators and medical experts to reconstruct the accident scene and develop a comprehensive damage claim. If you have suffered an injury on a boat, while boating or while engaged in other water sport activities, you should consult a boat accident attorney who has experience handling such claims as soon as possible after the accident. The laws that apply to injuries that occur on and around the water are complex and there are several questions that must be analyzed in order to correctly determine the value of a boating injury claim. For example, does state negligence law, federal maritime law or both control the claim and the amount of damages that can be recovered? Who is the responsible party? Is the cause of action against the owner for negligent operation? Did the vessel malfunction creating an actionable product liability claim against the manufacturer, as with personal watercraft? The attorneys at the Gomez Law Firm represent the rights of our clients in settlement negotiations with insurance companies and other liable parties. If the final offer is unsatisfactory to our clients, our skilled trial attorneys will take the case to court and present the matter to a jury.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of boating accidents are entirely preventable. Many collisions and accidents involving personal watercraft and other vessels are caused by negligence, intoxication, equipment failure, inadequate training, or weather and water conditions. Statistically, 80% of boating fatalities occur on boats where the operator has not completed a boating safety education course. The inexperience or the errors of the person operating the vessel also cause collisions. Under California law, boating operators and boat owners must display a great deal of responsibility and care in order to insure that swimmers, other boats, boat passengers, and others are not injured, killed, or hurt.
