Sonoma County Watercraft Accident Attorney

Boat, Jet Ski or other Watercraft Accident in Sonoma County?

Boating and other water sports are extremely popular and enjoyable for residents and tourists in Sonoma County. Sadly, many individuals consider that this recreational activity should include consuming alcohol, and many dangerous and deadly accidents are caused by intoxicated boat or jet ski operators. It is against the law to operate a watercraft while intoxicated, but this does not seem to stop those who do it. If you or a loved one has been injured in a boating accident or jet ski accident, it is crucial that you get legal representation from a Sonoma County personal injury lawyer without delay.

Dealing with the injuries from watercraft accidents in Lake Sonoma or other recreational area can be a terrible experience for the injured as well as their families. Some of these incidents can cause serious brain damage, as the injured person may have been deprived of oxygen while under the water, or have had injuries to their head in the accident. These traumatic brain injuries vary in degree, and some individuals never recover. Such injuries require long term medical care, possibly for the lifetime of the individual. The costs involved in such cases are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes more. It is extremely important that the lawyer you enlist to help you resolve the case is a skilled personal injury lawyer with years of experience in recovering the costs that the family and the individual now face. This can include all medical costs, rehabilitation, reconstructive surgery, ongoing medical care, as well as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and any financial losses suffered after the accident, such as income from employment.

Many of these cases are settled prior to a trial, in particular when the case is well-prepared by an attorney from the Law Offices of David R. Silva. Each case is carefully and thoroughly prepared, and when submitted, the insurer often decides to settle the case. In other cases, a trial may be necessary, and you can be assured that the firm is prepared to take the case to court and fight aggressively for maximum compensation for the injuries and other damages suffered.
