      • What is a Contingency Fee Agreement?

        A contingency fee means that if we obtain money for you, either via settlement or verdict, we deduct attorney fees and legal costs from the recovery and give you the rest. The percentage may vary depending on the risk involved in the case, which will be part of the contract. If we fail to reach a settlement or verdict in your favor, you do not owe us anything.

        For example, if you were injured in a car accident, you could talk to us about your rights. After the contingency fee contract is agreed upon, we will go to work immediately...

      Who Is Liable for Injuries in a Boat Accident?

      Posted on May 16, 2016 by Dudek Law Firm

      Now that summer has arrived, we will be seeing a lot more boats out on the water soon, which means there will also be more boat accidents. Boating accidents often have horrific consequences, so it’s important to always be safe when out on the water, whether you’re on a boat or nearby one. If you are hurt in a boat accident, you may be wondering about your legal rights. We’ve compiled a summary of some of the things we think you should know. Negligence in Personal Injury Cases Similar to other personal injury cases, you have to be able to prove another person’s negligence caused the accident. Without proving negligence, you may not be able to recover money to pay for medical bills and other expenses. What Are the Most Common Causes of Boat Accidents?

      Experienced Sailor Killed Off Coast of Southern California

      Posted on March 18, 2013 by Dudek Law Firm

      One man died in a sailboat accident in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Clemente Island on March 8, according to sources. Rescues crews were able to save five other crewmembers after their vessel was torn apart in rough waters, but Craig Williams did not survive. Williams and the crew were competing the annual Islands Race. Adverse weather and rough waters created difficult conditions for search teams attempting to rescue the crew. The Islands Race is run by the Newport Harbor yacht club and the San Diego yacht club, spanning 139 nautical miles in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California. “Silver Gate Yacht Club is very sad to acknowledge the loss of one of our members, as well as the lost of a member’s boat,” read a statement from the yacht club Williams was a member of. “This is a tragedy for the families and…

      San Diego Accident Attorney Urges Safe Boating Practices

      Posted on January 28, 2013 by Dudek Law Firm

      Officials in Arizona have charged a man with manslaughter, stemming from an incident occurring on Lake Havasu in March 2012. The Mohave County Attorney’s Office filed  charges against Richard Allen Timmsen, 26, of Mesa, Arizona. Timmsen was the operator of a watercraft that was towing 21-year-old Dwarkesh Prasannvathanam on an inner tube. Prasannvathanam fell off the tube and drowned. He was not wearing a life jacket. Timmsen is charged with felony endangerment and operating the boat under the influence of drugs. Lake Havasu is a popular spot for young people from California and Arizona to kick back and enjoy themselves—but there is no excuse for operating a watercraft under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The U.S. Coast Guard enforces a federal law in every state that makes it a crime to boat under the influence. Most states also passed their own laws outlawing boating while intoxicated. Tip of the…
