Boating and Personal Watercraft Accidents
Boating accidents are unique in that many boat/personal watercraft owners do not know basic safety and navigation rules to be followed. There is no licensing requirement for non-commercial vessels, even though many boats and personal watercraft travel at great speeds. Boating and water sports activities are both adrenaline pumping and fraught with unique dangers. Sadly, alcohol is often involved and injuries from these accidents are usually quite severe. Like in other types of accident cases factual and legal issues must be thoroughly investigated to determine fault, causation and to determine all possible sources of payment from the responsible party(ies).
Our firm is especially qualified to handle boating and personal watercraft accidents. Ed raced boats throughout the 70s and 80s, competing in the National Jet Boat Association and the National Drag Boat Association’s sponsored races. He is a boating enthusiast with a background in mechanical engineering. He loved his Hondo and Cole flat-bottom boats and progressed to the new “cat” style hulls. He retains his love of boats and continues to fight to make boats and their operation safer.
In addition, our attorneys are licensed in Arizona and California so that we can provide the most effective representation to our clients that may be injured boating on the Colorado River or on lakes in California and Arizona.
