Although this case does not appear to be an alcohol-related event, it points out the dangers that we all need to be aware of while on local lakes and rivers. If you or a loved-one has been injured or killed as a result of a boating incident, call Montes Herald Law Group, LLP immediately to investigate the incident on your behalf. While police and game warden officials will usually do a very thorough job of investigating incidents where alcohol or drugs are suspected because criminal charges are often filed in those case. However, in cases where criminal charges are not anticipated, often times the police do not preserve all of the evidence you will later need to prove that even though the incident does not involve drugs or alcohol, that the person responsible for causing the incident was negligent, and is therefore legally responsible for the incident.
