Boating Accidents in California
With California’s many lakes, islands, and coastal areas, boating accidents occur regularly. Most boating accidents involve recreational watercraft, but they can also include incidents on commercial vessels such as ferry boats (like the ferry to Catalina Island) or cruise ships.
Common scenarios include intoxicated boat operators on lakes or rivers striking swimmers, collisions between vessels, and accidents caused by negligent operation or equipment failure.
If you’ve been injured in a boating accident, gathering strong evidence is essential to supporting your claim and pursuing fair compensation. Key evidence may include:
- Witness statements from people who saw the accident
- Testimony from lifeguards or Coast Guard personnel who provided first aid
- Photos or video of the accident scene
- Boating accident reports filed with authorities
- Medical records documenting your injuries
- Evidence of operator negligence, such as intoxication or reckless behavior
At Victory Law Group, we work to gather all available evidence to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.

Common Injuries in Water Sport Accidents
Water sport accidents can result in severe, life-altering injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Coma
- Quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body)
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and can permanently change the course of your life. If you’ve suffered a serious injury in a boating or water sport accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
We Fight for Full and Fair Compensation
Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses—past and future
- Lost earnings and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Other damages related to your boating accident
You won’t have to pay anything upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means no attorney fees are due unless we successfully recover compensation for you.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
Still have questions? We’re happy to answer them during your free consultation. No pressure. No obligation.
