Preparing Your Boat or Watercraft Accident Case for​ Trial.

At Miller Injury Attorneys, we begin preparing for trial from the moment we accept your case. We may visit the scene of the accident, investigate damaged boats, interview witnesses and consult with marine experts. We also research applicable state and federal maritime laws.

While your boat or personal watercraft accident may settle before reaching the courtroom, we only advise our clients to accept a settlement when the amount is fair and adequate to cover your damages and injuries. If better results are likely to be achieved in the courtroom, we will not hesitate to present your case to a judge or jury.

Drownings, Near Drownings & Water-related Injuries.

A man suffering a near drowning accident getting medical helpIn addition to the Pacific Coastline, California is home to numerous lakes and rivers, including:

  • Folsom Lake
  • Lake Tahoe
  • The American River
  • The Sacramento River

Californians take advantage of their proximity to water. They participate in water skiing, swimming, boating and a wide variety of other water-related activities. And it’s not just natural bodies of water. Many Californians own pools or use private or community pools.

Unfortunately, with increased water use comes the increased risk of personal injury, including drownings. Many adults and children each year are killed in drownings or severely injured in near drownings. Even when a lifeguard is on duty, unsafe pool or beach conditions can be deadly.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

  • He was patient, kind and extremely professional.

    “Mr. Miller represented me on a mold case against a former landlord, and management company. He was patient, kind and extremely professional. Although my case wasn't one of the biggie gold mine type cases that many attorneys are looking for, he treated me with respect, collegiality and was able to help me get a settlement through mediation that seemed to be the best option for the quagmire of my particular case. One should always hold negative reviews on here in perspective: often people think their cases are slam-dunks, but as we all know, the legal system is overly complex and not as straight-forward as we all would like it to be. Often cases don't turn out as we'd like them to, but I felt that Mr. Miller was above board regarding the overall merits of my case and he tried to be realistic as to the outcome. I would recommend him and/or avail of his services again.”

    Former Client

  • The lawyers actually care!

    “The lawyers actually care, helping my daughter recover the insurance policy limits for her injuries involving a drunk driver.”

    Chris S.

  • I am so grateful to have found them.

    “From my initial phone conversation with Mr. John C Miller, Jr., I knew that my family would be in great hands. Mr. Miller and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I am so grateful to have found them. I live in OC and at first I was concerned about the distance, but, he made it work and was able to help me and my family. I would highly recommend Mr. John C. Miller, Jr. and his staff.”

    Mike

  • Above and beyond.

    “John Miller and his staff are very professional and helpful. Before I presented my case I was overwhelmed with how to actually go about it and how to find the help I needed. I was fortunate enough to have been directed to the correct spot to handle my case. I spoke with John Miller about it knowing nothing about what to do. John reviewed my case and called me in a timely fashion. Shannon took over my case and called me to let me know. If I had a question or concern I could call and get a quick response. Shannon went above and beyond her job to make sure everything was taken care of. Without Shannon and John, it may have never happened.”

    Stephanie G.

  • I LOVE JOHN MILLER AND HIS STAFF

    “One of the main reasons why I love John Miller and his staff, especially Shannon, is because of the way they treat you. They treat you like human beings. I have not been able to find a law team that would take my case even with all my evidence... because I am low rent. John Miller and Shannon were the only ones who didn't treat me like I'm cheap and that I deserve all of these things just because of the fact of me being poor. They are always updating you on your case and keeps you abreast to all moving parts of the lawsuit. I hope this never happens to you or your family members, as all of mine have been affected, but if it does it's GREAT TO SEE AND KNOW THEY HAVE YOUR BACK and that you are working with people who REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOUR GOING THRU!!!!”
