The waters of San Diego County and throughout the State of California are ideal for boating, ocean sports, jetski riding, and other recreational pursuits. However, every year numerous boating accidents happen, sometimes with catastrophic results. Occasionally, particularly with jetski accidents, the result may be severe brain injuries or even death.

Our firm represents people injured, or those who have lost loved ones, in boating accidents. Numerous factors can contribute to causing a boating accident, including:

• Operator error
• Operator inexperience
• Boating under the influence
• Equipment failure
• Bad weather/water conditions
• Failure to properly look out for danger

Surprisingly, many of these accidents could be avoided if people learned how to operate their vessels safely before they operate them. 84% of all boating accidents involve operators who have never taken a boat safety course. What's worse is that the State of California does not require certain vessels, such as jetskis, to be insured—although they require all motor vehicles to be insured.

Generally, a boat operator and owner must use the highest degree of care to prevent injuries to passengers in the boat, swimmers, or others in the water or other surrounding vessels (boats, jetskis, other watercraft, etc.). Our attorneys are experienced in representing boating victims and will discuss your options, work with the insurance companies, and make sure all medical care is addressed completely.

Our office can provide key advice and aggressive representation in regard to a variety of recreational accidents, including:

• Boating accidents
• Swimming or diving accidents
• Scuba diving and snorkeling accidents
• Jet ski crash or personal watercraft accident
• Kayaking, wind surfing, parasailing
