A woman wwho as snorkeling in the mooring field in the Isthmus Cove at Catalina Island was struck by a power boat and killed this past week. She was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene. Boating accidents that result in fatal injuries can result in a wrongful death lawsuit by the family of the victim. Boat operators are under the same responsibilities to operate their craft with the same care and levels of safety as if they were driving on land.
Boating accidents require an injury attorney with experience and expertise. After more than 40 years of experience handling injury and wrongful death cases in Los Angeles and Orange County, I can tell you that these cases require legal skill and trial experience. Insurance companies are resisting settlements on many types of injuries, and boating accidents can present even greater legal challenges.
