Boat & Ship Accidents

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."

Toyota Sudden Acceleration Defect

Toyota California Class Action Filed by Bill Turley
Mar 27, 2010

A Toyota California Class Action was filed on March 26, 2010 by San Diego Lawyer Bill Turley (along with a team of Super-Lawyers).....

It is the first California Class Action filed in California State Court.

What makes this case different is that it is being brought by California residents who bought Toyota's and Lexus' in California and relies on California's strong consumer protection laws. California has very strong consumer protection laws which no other states have.

In addition, residents of California are the only Toyota owners and Lexus owners in the County that have the right to file a lawsuit in State Court. This is because Toyota has it's US headquarters in California. Which allows Californnia residents a huge advantage. California has better laws. And the State case should be ready for Class Certification much, much sooner that the Federal MDL Litigation.

LOSS OF VALUE

The basis for the complaint is a diminishment in value caused by the recent recalls. "The entire Toyota brand is tainted," points out Toyota California Class Action co-counsel Tracee Lorens. The drop in value of these vehicles is a quantifiable number - - which are the damages suffered by California Toyota owners and Lexus owners according to the Complaint. And there appears to be very, very strong evidence which supports these points.

"We need more California Toyota and Lexus Owners to Step Forward"

According to leading Products Liability Lawyer Bill Turley - who is also co-counsel in the California Class Action case "We need more California Toyota and Lexus Owners to Step Forward." Here is the deal. Many of the Federal MDL Lawyers are top notch lawyers. However, we don't where that group is headed. While we believe and hope that they will act with nothing but the best intentions.... we don't beleive California residents should have to "hope" that the national lawyers involved in this case will look out for them. So, we are looking out for all California Toyota and California Lexus owners.

Thus, we need your help if you are a California Toyota owner or California Lexus Owner (or previous owner). We are gathering as much information as possible. About your experiences with sudden unintended acceleration, the drop in value in your car, you help in organizing Toyota owners and Lexus owners, etc. Frankly, we need as many California Toyota Owners and California Lexus Owners as possible to step forward and be counted.

The only way that you can make sure that at the end of the day, not
