Representation for Victims of Boat & Jet Ski Accidents

The lakes and waterways of California’s Central Valley are havens for boaters. In the Sacramento area, the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area has one of the largest inland marinas in the state. The lake is a popular spot for boating, sailing, Jet Skiing, and water skiing.

Nothing can ruin a perfect summer day faster than a boating accident. Depending on the speed and watercraft involved, an accident may lead to life-altering injuries or loss of life. According to data from the California Department of Boating and Waterways, there are hundreds of boat accidents every year across the state, resulting in millions of dollars in property damage.

Uncovering What Happened

In boating accident cases, much often hinges on determining who was at fault — or negligent, in legal terms. The answer isn’t always apparent.

Boat and Jet Ski accidents could be caused by:

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Driving in the dark
• Failing to maintain proper vehicle maintenance
• Operating a boat without a license (inexperienced boaters)
• Failing to keep an eye on the path ahead

Perhaps the operator of the other watercraft was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Perhaps he or she was speeding or driving recklessly. An in-depth investigation may be necessary to uncover what happened. An investigation may also reveal other factors that contributed to the accident such as adverse weather conditions.
