The San Francisco Bay Area is home to hundreds of private and commercial fishing boats and trawlers, many of which take on passengers for day trips or longer fishing excursions. On any given day, boats pull away from docks in towns up and down the Northern California coast, often with insufficient concern for weather conditions at the point of destination or passenger safety when alcohol is on board.

We fight aggressively to help you recover maximum money damages to compensate you and your family for medical costs, time away from work and other financial damages associated with the accident.
3rd Party Boating Accident Injuries
Private fishing excursions are often understaffed, leaving inexperienced passengers to fend for themselves in rough weather conditions. In addition, many private trawlers and fishing yachts allow — and encourage — the consumption of alcohol en route to their destination. Many accidents and injuries occur because passengers are unsupervised or too inexperienced to safely handle the heavy equipment. We help you seek money damages from every party who shares liability for your injuries, including the corporate boat owner, crew members responsible for gross negligence and other passengers responsible for misconduct.
