DOUGLAS WELEBIR: Because the lawyers in our firm have handled so many boating accidents over the years, we have learned that there is a unique way to approach a boating accident.

CORY R. WECK: Boats don’t have brakes. Boats don’t respond the same way as a car would, say, on a surface street. And most people aren’t experienced enough to avoid a collision as they would in a normal auto accident.

DOUGLAS WELEBIR: Boating accidents present a unique set of legal and factual problems because there are no recognized rules of the road by most boaters. You have accidents caused by running into walls, running into other boats, or accelerating and dumping people out the side of the boat.

CORY R. WECK: Our firm tends to handle quite a few big rig cases, primarily because of our location. We’re closely located to the 10 Freeway, the 60 Freeway, and the 215.

DOUGLAS WELEBIR: In handling a big rig accident, you come to learn the intricacies of the particular type of litigation. And it’s very important to have someone who has long experience with 18-wheeler accidents and the physics that are involved.

CORY R. WECK: Big rigs don’t slow like a normal car. Big rigs aren’t able to avoid collisions such as a normal car with the braking systems that we have in today’s automobiles. And when the impact occurs, it’s often catastrophic to our clients.

Based on our experience in both boats and auto accidents, we’ve been down that road before. We know who our adversaries are before they’re even assigned to the case. We know the experts they intend to employ. And we can adequately prepare our case in anticipation of that.
