Boating Accidents
There are many varied forms of boating accidents, such as those that occur during recreational activity or, on a larger scale, those occurring on cruise ships, naval vessels, or involving maritime laborers.  Unfortunately, California's coastline, lakes, and rivers all too often become locations of boating accidents as well as accidental injuries involving watercraft such as Jet Skis.
