Californians love boating, whether it is in their lakes or out on the Pacific. But every year there are serious accidents on the water, and many victims turn to The Law Office of Rosenstock and Azran for representation.
Boat Injury Happens in Every Body of Water
Boats, just like cars, sometimes crash into each other. It happens in the harbors, marinas and right here in our Pacific Ocean. Crashes involve powerboats, sailboats, fishing boats, commercial ships, and even personal watercraft like Jet Skis.
Injuries include broken bones, spinal injuries, bad burns, even wrongful death caused by propeller lacerations, severe injuries to the head and brain, and drowning.
The Law Office of Rosenstock and Azran is experienced at handling these kinds of claims for the people of Los Angeles County. We also file product liability cases against boat manufacturers for faulty engines, drain plugs and safety cut-offs.
Van Nuys Boating Accident Attorney
The Law Office of Rosenstock and Azran understands boating laws and how it differs from its landborne equivalents. The issue of liability becomes very important on the water, where a slip-and-fall can mean falling overboard. Just as we have DUI (Driving While Under the Influence) and reckless driving on land, so we have DUI and reckless boating on the water. Boaters are obliged to obey all these laws.
Negligence Doesn't Take a Vacation, So Be Careful
Many young people are injured on rental watercraft, including Jet Ski-type equipment. Adults can sign safety waivers to rent equipment, but minors cannot, meaning the company renting the equipment may still be still liable. Swimmers and water skiers should know that boaters are required to maintain a watchful eye to keep a distance and not run into them.
