Michael A. Kahn provides experienced legal representation for Los Angeles boating accident victims from his office at 10990 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1040. His practice focuses on helping those injured by human error on the water, particularly accidents caused by drunk, reckless, distracted, or inexperienced boat operators. Understanding that most victims lack comprehensive knowledge of boating accident liability laws, Kahn emphasizes how this knowledge gap leaves them vulnerable to insurance companies that attempt to limit compensation. His firm helps clients establish two critical elements for successful claims: identifying the responsible party and documenting injury severity. Whether through negotiation or litigation, Kahn fights for comprehensive compensation covering pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, medical treatment, hospital stays, home nursing services, physical disability, and loss of consortium in wrongful death cases. With a successful track record securing large settlements, he offers free consultations to evaluate potential cases and works on contingency, charging nothing until securing compensation.
