Many factors can contribute to a boating accident either on a privately owned vessel, a personal watercraft (jet ski) or even a ferry. Some of these factors include:

• Driver error
• Driver inexperience
• Driving while intoxicated
• Equipment failure
• Adverse weather and/or water conditions

The pacific Ocean can be an attractive but dangerous playground for locals and tourists alike. Accidents can and do occur on personal watercraft, harbor cruises, and the other boating opportunities available in Orange County. Even if injuries from the boating accident appear minor it is advised to seek medical evaluation.

If you feel that your boating accident was caused by another person's or a company's carelessness towards your safety, or by a product defect, please know that you have a legal right to hold negligent parties responsible and you may be interested in filing a personal injury claim. Our personal injury law firm understands the amount of physical recovery that is often necessary for boat injury victims. Considerable medical treatment, extended hospital stays, outpatient physical therapy and significant time away from work are often necessary to fully rehabilitate.
