San Francisco Boating Accident Attorney
If you have been injured in an accident on a San Francisco waterway, you may be entitled to compensation. A boating accident attorney at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can evaluate your case and explain your rights following a San Francisco Bay boating accident. Our boat accident lawyers are seasoned advocates with more than 70 years combined experience representing victims of serious and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death.
Boat accidents can involve vessels of all sizes, from a kayak to a cruise ship. Victims of water-related accidents have special needs. Even in boat accidents with minor injuries, there is always the risk of drowning and hypothermia, especially if a passenger does not know how to swim or is unable to reach shore.
Depending on the location and circumstances of your boating accident, governing law may be either state tort law or Federal maritime law. In reviewing your case, our attorney will explain how your claim will be handled. Our watercraft collision lawyers are extremely familiar with boating laws and boating insurance, and can help you recover the maximum compensation available for your San Francisco boating accident.
Causes of Boat Accidents
Boating accidents can have many causes, many of which involve some form of boater negligence or inexperience. Boat operators have the same responsibilities to operate a vessel safely as an automobile driver does. A boat operator should understand how to operate a boat, speed limits, and applicable boating laws. Some common causes of boat accidents include:
- Boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Boat operator inexperience
- Boat explosions
- Boat capsizing
- Passengers falling overboard
- Collisions with other boats, docks, rocks or the shore
- Fires on board a boat
- Propeller accidents
- Rough seas
- Weather-related accidents and collisions
If you have been injured while working aboard a boat, see our maritime law page for information about the Jones Act.
