Did A Boat Operator’s Negligence Cause Your Injuries?

Posted on August 20, 2014 by bonnicilawgroup

During the summer months, tourists and San Diego natives love to enjoy recreational boating activities like swimming, waterskiing and tubing. Boating and watersports can be fun for everyone, as long as boat operators and passengers act safely. Operating a boat can be just as dangerous as driving a car, and like many car accidents, speeding, negligence and alcohol use can lead to deadly boat collisions. Recreational boating accidents can cause serious injuries, like broken bones, lacerations, limb loss and permanent brain damage (either from traumatic brain injury or oxygen deprivation while drowning.) On Thursday, July 31, two young men were killed in a boat collision at El Capitan Reservoir in San Diego’s East County. According to witnesses, the young men’s craft was stationary when a blue and white Nitro boat sped through the area and slammed into them.

Hit-and-Run Driver Plows Through Zombie Walk

Posted on August 13, 2014 by bonnicilawgroup

The San Diego Comic-Con invites comic book enthusiasts from all over the world to mingle and compete in ornate costumes, honoring their favorite fictional characters.

Are California Dogs Permitted “One Free Bite”?

Posted on August 6, 2014 by bonnicilawgroup

California had one of the highest rates for dog bite fatalities in 2012, and 75 percent of those deaths occurred in San Diego County. Between July 2011 and June 2012, more than 2,900 dog bites were reported to the county’s Department of Animal Services. Contrary to popular belief, California does not permit “one free bite” for any animal. In fact, most dog bites are from first time offenders. Owners are held responsible for any dog bite injury, even if the dog has no history of violence. In 2010, a 2-year-old toddler was killed by three pit bulls after he wandered into a garage where they were being kept. Prosecutors said the boy’s body was covered in more than 100 bites. The boy’s 56-year-old grandfather, who bred the dogs and was supervising the boy at the time, faced charges of involuntary manslaughter on July 8. The young boy’s mother pleaded for…
