Los Angeles Boating Accident Lawyer

Boating accidents are fast, violent, and often deadly — and when they happen, victims are left to deal with life-altering injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and insurance companies looking for every excuse not to pay.

If you or someone you love has been injured or killed in a boating accident in California, it’s time to take action — and take control.

At The Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus, we’ve spent over three decades fighting for victims of serious accidents — and we’re ready to take the fight to the negligent operators, reckless companies, and deep-pocketed insurers responsible for your suffering.

The Hidden Dangers of California Waters

With more than 6,400 miles of coastline and nearly 8,000 square miles of inland waterways, Southern California is a hub for recreational boating, commercial shipping, and cruise traffic. But with that activity comes danger. Accidents can happen anywhere — fast-moving rivers, crowded harbors, party boats, personal watercraft, or massive cruise liners.

Operator inattention, alcohol, poor maintenance, and hazardous weather are among the top causes of boating collisions and fatalities. And while the Coast Guard may require a report, that won’t pay your medical bills, compensate you for lost wages, or undo the trauma you’ve endured.

We Handle All Types of Boating Accidents

• Recreational boating collisions

• Jet ski and personal watercraft crashes

• Drowning and near-drowning incidents

• Falls overboard

• Drunk boating accidents

• Cruise ship injuries (including slip and falls, onboard illness, food poisoning, or assault)

• Groundings and collisions with docks or obstacles

• Commercial vessel and charter boat negligence

• Failure to provide life jackets or emergency instructions

Boating accidents aren’t just personal tragedies — they’re legal battles. And the responsible party, whether it’s a negligent skipper, careless crew, or reckless cruise line, must be held accountable.

Don’t Guess Who’s Liable — Let Us Uncover the Truth

Maritime and boating laws are complex. Liability can fall on an individual, a company, or even multiple parties. Our experienced attorneys will dig deep, gather evidence, reconstruct the accident, and identify every liable party — so we can pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.

If the accident involved a cruise ship, don’t assume it’s just a matter of filing a claim. You’ll need to review the fine print on your ticket and comply with strict legal procedures under maritime law. We’ve handled these cases before — and we know how to go toe-to-toe with billion-dollar cruise lines.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation For:

• Emergency medical expenses and ongoing treatment

• Lost income and loss of future earning capacity

• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma

• Disability and disfigurement

• Wrongful death, including funeral and burial costs

• Punitive damages in extreme cases of recklessness or negligence

Boating operators are required by law to report accidents within 48 hours if there are injuries or deaths. But don’t rely on them to protect your rights — that’s our job.
