Have You Been Injured In A Boating Or Watercraft Accident?
The San Francisco Bay Area and other waterways in California offer some of the best water sport opportunities in the nation. On any given day, thousands of boaters, water skiers and recreational watercraft users enjoy the Bay or inland waterways.
Unfortunately, many recreational boaters and Jet Ski riders don’t follow the safety precautions necessary to help avoid accidents. Heavy drinking, reckless behavior and inattention lead to a significant number of serious accidents on the water, docks and loading ramps.
