If you are injured in a boat accident in San Diego, make sure you hire a lawyer that specializes in boat accidents
San Diego is a great boating community. However, boats can be deadly. Too many boaters are injured each year due to negligence. Boaters are obligated to follow Federal Navigational Rules. These are called "Rules of the Road." If you are injured in a boating accident you need a lawyer that specializes in boat and ship accidents. Also, called "Maritime Lawyers."
Too many lawyers call themselves "San Diego boat accident lawyer" or "San Diego boat accident attorney" or "San Diego Maritime lawyer" or "San Diego Maritime attorney." You get the idea...
Turns out; it is really easy to call yourself a "boat accident lawyer" and the like. The trouble for folks that are seriously injured in a San Diego boating accident is finding a lawyer that really is a specialist in boat accidents or maritime law.
If you are seriously injured in a San Diego boat accident - you need a San Diego Maritime Lawyer
Here is what you need. You need a lawyer that is a "Maritime Lawyer." That is a lawyer that specializes in Federal Maritime Law. Or, also know as,”Law of the Sea." Maritime law is complex. The last thing you need is a lawyer that specializes in everything. If the lawyer website says they specialize in dog bites, slip and falls, auto accidents, elder law, nursing home law, products, amusement park accidents, medical malpractice, etc... They can't "specialize" in everything. And they certainly aren't maritime lawyers.

Even if it turns out Bill and his firm is not the best fit for your case, Bill will make sure you team up with a lawyer that specializes in maritime personal injury law in California (or the USA).
Bill was elected President of Consumer Attorneys of San Diego (formerly San Diego Trial Lawyers Association) and was elected 10 years on the Board of Governors of Consumer Attorneys of California (formerly California Trial Lawyers Association).
