Los Angeles Boat Accident Lawyer

One of the best parts about living in southern California is the easy access to water and the consistently great weather to enjoy it. Being out on a boat, jet ski, or any other watercraft is a great way to relax and spend time with your loved ones. Unfortunately, not everyone exercises the appropriate degree of care when on the water, and boating accidents can lead to serious injuries and even death.

When you have experienced such a tragic event because of someone else’s recklessness, you do not deserve to bear the full brunt of the consequences. A Los Angeles boat accident lawyer could help you investigate the crash, identify the responsible party, and recover fair compensation for your losses. Our personal injury attorneys are ready to support your claim while you focus on recovery.

Responsibility for Boating Wrecks

Boat accidents can be complicated. One reason for this is several different people could potentially be responsible for the crash, such as:

The boat operator if they did not manage the craft in a reasonably safe manner or in accordance with the rules of the particular waterway
The boat’s owner, even if they were not on board at the time of the crash
The boat’s designer if there was a defect in the boat’s design that led to the accident
A local government if it failed to take reasonable actions to warn people of dangerous conditions on the waterway

Determining who is ultimately responsible for a wreck can be difficult and may not be apparent just from witnessing the crash. An experienced attorney in Los Angeles may be able to help an injured person identify the person whose actions led to the boat incident and hold them responsible.

Boating Laws

Another complicating factor in boating accidents is that different laws may apply depending on where the wreck occurred. A Los Angeles attorney who regularly handles boating accidents could help an injured person identify the applicable law, how it applies to their situation, and how it might impact their case.

When state law applies, it is good for all boaters to be aware of several rules:

California Harbors and Navigation Code § 678.11 requires everyone under the age of 60 operating a boat that makes use of an engine to have a vessel operator card on their person
California Harbors and Navigation Code § 655 states that no one using a boat, water skis, aquaplane, or similar device may operate the craft in a reckless or negligent manner
California Harbors and Navigation Code § 656 provides that anyone operating a boat who is involved in an accident must provide assistance to any other person affected by the accident
California Harbors and Navigation Code § 658.5 states that no one younger than 16 may operate a boat or other watercraft powered by a motor with more than 15 horsepower unless the craft is smaller than 15 feet in length

Although these rules do not directly provide for compensation to be paid to people injured in boating accidents, an experienced lawyer may be able to use a violation of these or other statutes as evidence of negligence and financial responsibility for the injuries caused.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.

Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent.

Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident. Keep receipts of medication and medical care you received Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you navigate your claim.

WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM GO TO TRIAL?

Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
