As California residents, many of us enjoy the easy accessibility to the many bodies of water our great state provides.  This does not only include the ocean but the many lakes in the state as well.  With so many people flocking to these bodies of waters, it is an unfortunate reality that boating and personal watercraft accidents are common occurances.  According to the California Department of Boating and Waterways, over 6,500 boating accidents occur each year in the United States, and about 700 of these will end in death, and over 4,000 will end in serious injuries.

Recovering Maximum Compensation For Your Boat Accident Injuries

At the San Jose personal injury law firm of Estey Bomberger, we help the victims of boating accidents recover the financial compensation that they are entitled to.  This compensation can help with the reimbursement of medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of wages if you could not work during your recovery time from the accident.

Types of Boating Accidents

Although boating is meant to be fun, a recreational boating trip can turn dangerous at the drop of a dime.  Our San Jose personal injury attorneys are seasoned in dealing with a variety of boating/personal watercraft accidents, and are here to help you with whatever situation you may find yourself in.  Some common accidents our law firm deals with are:

• Collisions with other boats/wave runners/ or jet skis
• Boating/Personal Watercraft collisions due to the operator being under the influence of drugs or alcohol
