13 injured in boating accident in Blythe

BLYTHE, California (March 14, 2016) –Thirteen people were injured Saturday night when a boat traveling at a high rate of speed crashed into rocks on the shoreline of the Colorado River, roughly 30 miles from Blythe, according to a report by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

The crash took place about 5:30 p.m. on Saturday night on the shoreline near the 33000 block of Highway 95. Alcohol is suspected to be involved. The driver of the boat was unable to safely negotiate a turn and lost control of the vessel causing it to crash. Paramedics and police from the Colorado Rivers Station responded to help those involved including three who were airlifted to hospitals with major injuries and six with moderate injuries. Four people declined medical attention, but appeared to be injured.

Witnesses are asked to contact the Colorado River Station by calling (760) 921-7900.

You have Questions. We have Answers.

What is My
Case Worth?

Your Answer

Every personal injury case is unique and many factors are used to value each case. The losses from your claim include the amount of the medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, etc. The most important factor is your life change resulting from the injury. Typically, the larger the injury and life change, the larger the settlement. We discuss your personal injury claim’s worth during your free consultation.

Should I talk to
Insurance Company

Your Answer

The first thing you should do is contact an attorney. Without the representation of a lawyer, insurance companies might make contact with you directly, and since they are trained to protect their best interests, this could mean a loss of rights on your behalf, especially if you unknowingly sign something that they didn't completely explain to you. Call for a free consultation 800-208-3538, or complete the form below >

How Long will
it Take?

Your Answer

The length of a personal injury case depends on many factors including the evaluation and treatment of the injury. The bigger the injury, the longer it takes to treat. Attorney James Johnson helps you be aggressive with the treatment, so the average case normally takes between two and five months. Those who have serious injuries and need surgery may take several months longer. Call for a free consultation 800-208-3538, or complete the form below >

What if I'm
Not Insured?

Your Answer

Many victims believe if you don't have health insurance you don't have a case - this NOT true. In fact, those with health insurance usually don't use it since there are so many restrictions and steps to overcome to receive authorization for treatment. Johnson Attorneys Group assists you in finding the best doctors to help. Most of them even wait until a settlement for payment.

Can I Do It
Myself?

Your Answers

Handling a personal injury claim by yourself is very difficult. You will deal directly with the insurance adjuster who is often trained to obtain the information they are not entitled to use. This information can negatively impact and de-value your case. Once your case is damaged, it is very difficult to repair it and usually costs you thousands of dollars less in a settlement.

How Much
Does it Cost?

Your Answers

You do not pay anything unless you win. We work on a contingency-fee-basis, so we’re only paid if we win your case. When the case is settled, our fee is a percentage, as previously agreed, of the final settlement. These fees are described in full detail in our signed contract before work begins on the case. We cover the case upfront costs including everything from copying and court filing fees to hiring experts - so all your focus can be on getting well.
