Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death - Boating & Drowning Accidents

Personal Injury | Boating Accidents | Watercraft | Powerboats | Jet Skis® | WaveRunners® | Water Skiing Accident | Drowning Accident

With the popularity of boating and the many beaches, lakes and waterways in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other locations across California, serious accidents often happen, either as a result of the negligent operation of watercraft or the poor design, construction or maintenance of a boat, Jet Ski® or WaveRunner®. If your loved one has died in a boating or drowning accident, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests.

At Blackman Legal Group, with offices throughout California, we have focused exclusively on personal injury cases for more than 33 years. We have handled many wrongful death claims and know that no amount of money will compensate you for the loss of your loved one. But we also recognize that the absence of a breadwinner can make it challenging for surviving family members to provide for their needs. There may also be medical bills or other expenses arising out of your loved one’s death. You also have a right to be compensated for the loss of companionship and consortium.

We combine a comprehensive knowledge of personal injury law and procedure with thorough preparation, providing aggressive and compassionate counsel in your time of need. Our attorneys have settled many claims at or above insurance policy limits, and obtained numerous verdicts or settlements in excess of $1 million for clients.
