A severe storm on Lake Tahoe on June 21, 2025, led to a tragic boating accident, with high winds and large waves causing a vessel to capsize, resulting in six fatalities and two individuals still missing. The Wagner Law Group has announced the opening of an Injury Hotline for victims of the storm, emphasizing the importance of accountability and support for those affected. The incident underscores the dangers of sudden weather changes on the water and the need for preparedness among boaters.
The accident involved a 27-foot Chris Craft carrying approximately 10 people, with conditions exacerbated by near-freezing temperatures and cold water, raising concerns about hypothermia for those still in the water. The Wagner Law Group, with extensive experience in personal injury and wrongful death cases, including boating accidents, is stepping in to assist victims and their families during this difficult time. The firm highlights the potential for further discoveries of damage or injuries as the aftermath of the storm continues to unfold.
This event serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather on large bodies of water and the critical importance of safety measures and preparedness for all boaters. The legal team's response aims to provide not only legal recourse but also a pathway to understanding how such tragedies can be prevented in the future.
