Southern California Watercraft Accident Attorneys

With hundreds of thousands of boat owners in the United States, it's no wonder that the United States Coast Guard reported nearly 700 boat-related fatalities and nearly 5,000 boat accidents in 2005 alone. Watercraft accidents may involve boaters, jet skis, even public transportation such as barges and ferries. California law considers any injury that occurs on a boat to be a watercraft accident and requires boat operators of all stripes to maintain a rigorous standard of care when it comes to the safety of life and property.

Bisnar | Chase, LLP is experienced in watercraft accident litigation. This includes incidents such as slip and fall injuries, collisions with boats and other watercraft, sinking, or drowning. Liability can depend on various factors such as who owns the watercraft in question, the circumstances surrounding the incident, and the training and safety procedures followed by the boat operator. An experienced watercraft accident attorney can conduct a thorough investigation to determine liability before advising you to proceed with a boat accident claim for damages related to personal injury and loss of property due to a negligent watercraft operator.

Whether the case involves a disappeared watercraft, a jet ski crash or an accident due to inexperience or lack of safety, Bisnar | Chase has the experience and track record necessary to investigate and litigate any watercraft accident. Potential defendants in a watercraft accident case include commercial ferry companies, public transit systems that operate boats, tour boat companies, and the owners or operators of personal watercraft such as boats and jet skis.
