Recreational and Boating Accidents

San Diego California Boat Accident Injury Lawyers

At The McClellan Law Firm in San Diego, our lawyers represent the victims and surviving families of persons severely injured or killed in boat accidents, personal watercraft collisions, bike accidents, all-terrain vehicle rollovers, and other recreational accidents. Some of these cases will involve claims of negligence against the owner or operator of the vehicle or vessel involved in the accident, while others will turn on claims of design or manufacturing defects against the company that made it. For dependable advice about your recreational boating accident claim, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at The McClellan Law Firm in San Diego.

We work with industry, safety, and engineering experts in order to identify the cause of your accident as specifically and accurately as possible. Our attorneys also work closely with your medical and rehabilitation team so that your injuries, prognosis, and future treatment needs can be presented completely and persuasively.

With a record of more than 85 settlements and verdicts worth in excess of $1 million each on behalf of our clients, we have the experience with complex accident litigation necessary to represent your interests effectively in such boating and recreational accidents as the following:

• Water ski boat accidents
• Sea Doo or Wave Runner collisions
• Capsized boat accidents
• Drunk boating accidents
• Collisions at a pier, dock, or harbor
• ATV collisions and rollovers
• Accidents caused or aggravated by a defective bike helmet, motorcycle helmet, or rock climbing equipment
• Severe or disabling sports and athletic injuries caused by equipment failure or other factors beyond the ordinary risks assumed in the sport

In accidents on the water, there might well be overlapping jurisdiction between California personal injury law and federal maritime law, particularly for accidents suffered in the ocean. We will make a thorough analysis of your specific case and advise you whether state or federal law will offer an advantage for your claims.

Our attorneys have recovered approximately a quarter billion dollars on behalf of severely injured accident victims and their surviving families under a wide range of legal theories, and our experience and resourcefulness can benefit you and your family as well.
