California’s beautiful lakes and waterways attract thousands of boaters and water sports enthusiasts every year. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the number of registered recreational boats has been steadily growing, and the number of personal watercraft, manufactured under brand names such as Jet-Ski and Sea-Doo, has exploded. And why not? Recreational boating and racing across the lake on a Jet-Ski are a lot of fun. Unfortunately, a wonderful day on the water can sometimes end in tragedy. If you’ve been seriously injured in a boating accident, you’re strongly encouraged to contact a boating injury attorney who has a proven record in boating injury cases. In the Northern California area, Redding personal injury attorneys Barr and Mudford can help you determine the best course of action and whether you should seek compensation for your injuries.
