Robson Forensic marine experts cover the waterfront. We bring real life experience, backed by practical knowledge and education, to clarify the standards of care and applicable rules for recreational boaters. Our casework frequently involves the design, construction and maintenance of small craft as well as their operation.

Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Operation of Small Craft

Occasionally, there is one too many boats in the same place and accidents happen. Our experts can efficiently sort through the information to bring clarity and understanding into the legal setting.
