Boating Accidents

Getting Full Compensation for Boating Accidents

Accidents that take place on the water are handled differently than accidents that take place on land. There are unique challenges involved when a boating accident is caused by an act of negligence, such as boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

At the Law Offices of Sanford M. Cipinko, our attorneys know how to address these challenges. We start by relying on facts, which we gather by conducting a complete investigation. We use these facts to build a case so that is ready to proceed to trial if that will produce the best results for our client.

We prepare aggressively for trial because we believe that is the best way to make it clear to the opposition that we are serious about getting full compensation. Opposing attorneys know of our proven track record, including our numerous multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Our extensive preparations and record of success in the courtroom allow us to avoid trial in many instances. Many insurers would rather pay our clients a full settlement rather than face us in the courtroom.

Handling all types of boat accidents

We represent people involved in boating accidents on bodies of water in the San Francisco area and throughout California, including San Francisco bay, Lake Del Valle, Clear Lake, Lake Tahoe, Trinity Lake and Lake Oroville.

We handle cases involving collisions between two or more boats, as well as cases involving boats hitting swimmers or water skiers and more. We also handle accident cases involving Jet Skis and other personal watercraft.

Bringing more than 30 years experience to boating accident cases

Our firm prides itself on being trusted, reliable and proven. Our attorneys have been handling personal injury and wrongful death cases for over three decades. We take great care in thoroughly preparing every case in order to make it count and get full compensation for victims of negligence.

Handling all cases on a contingency basis

In boating accident cases, like in all personal injury cases we handle, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are successful in recovering compensation for you.
