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

  • 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!!!!”

    S. Rausin

  • Professional service when you need it most!

    “Before our first engagement John Miller had the ball rolling. Before I knew what was going on, Miller Accident Attorneys had me moving in the right direction. Before I even thought of the questions to ask, John Miller gave me the information I needed. With a powerhouse like John Miller I felt like I could walk through anything. My family personally wants to thank the Miller team. Your the best! From the Brewer family”

    Aaron Brewer

  • 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

  • I was pleased with the end result.

    “In December 2019 a Lyft driver just could not wait for me to finish getting into the car and took off prematurely running over my left foot. I suffered tears to a couple of ligaments and tendons. After not receiving any return calls from Lyft I enlisted the help of Miller Injury Attorneys. Rebecca McMartin was the legal assistant who helped me every step of the way. She was always courteous and very professional. She was responsive to all of my questions and concerns and allayed any doubts I had. I was amazed that we were able to settle just after one year of the incident. I know personally injury claims can be extremely lengthy, but this was short and sweet and I was pleased with the end result. I highly recommend this firm and if you are fortunate to be able to work with Rebecca, you are in good hands.”

    Elaine S.

  • I highly recommend John to anyone as he is honest, prepared, knowledgeable and kind.

    “John Miller was a Godsend to me through a very difficult time. John was able to negotiate a settlement with two parties and give me the ability to be made "whole". I highly recommend John to anyone as he is honest, prepared, knowledgeable and kind. I believe that John truly cares about his clients and these days that stands out. John puts his clients at ease and I found that his advice during negotiations was in my best interest at all times. I am blessed to have had John as my attorney.”
