• Bill Turley Interviewed in San Diego Union Newspaper
  Dec 24, 2009

  Bill Turley was recently interviewed as a maritime expert by the San Diego Union.  Bill was interviewed concerning the recent Coast Guard Boat Accident on San Diego Harbor.  A US Coast Guard vessel collided with a  recreational boat during the  annual Christmas Parade of Lights.
  
  Bill notes that author Matt Hall accurately quoted him.  All in all, it was a very accurate reporting.  Matt did a really good job with the article.  Click here to read  the article, "Lights, speed to be considered in boat crash."
  
  Here is the part of the article concerning San Diego Boat Accident Lawyer Bill Turley: 
  
  
  Maritime law experts said that if the DeWeese family's Sea Ray wasn't anchored - as appears to be the case before the accident - it would need to have had a white light shining above the boat and navigational lights on either side of it.

  If those weren't on, the Sea Ray's operators might be at least partly at fault, said Bill Turley, past president of the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego.

  If they were, Turley said, questions for the Coast Guard become:

  •Was there a crew member serving as lookout, as required by law?

  •How fast was the Coast Guard vessel traveling?

  Turley said maritime rules require boats to travel at safe speeds, which generally means slow enough to avoid hitting an object or another boat. Sunday night's crowded parade waters should be a part of any analysis, he said.

  "Because of the density, the Coast Guard would have a heightened requirement to exercise slower speeds and better judgment," Turley said. "To me, if the DeWeese vessel exhibited lights, then there is no question the Coast Guard would be at fault."
