Were You Injured in a Scuba Diving Accident?
As certified scuba divers, Mark Cantor and Gary Burger have unique insight into the training, experience and dedication necessary to be qualified and safe scuba divers. We are certified scuba divers at various levels and regularly dive. We know the danger of scuba diving accidents and how to represent you and your family if you have a scuba diving accident or diving incident. Although scuba divers need to be responsible for their own safety and are trained with that in mind, negligence of others can contribute to scuba diving accidents. Due to the nature of the sport many times a scuba diving accident will result in serious injury or death. Sometimes faulty equipment, inadequate training, line entanglements, improper guidance, improper instruction, lack of checking air, lack of assistance and other malfunctions can contribute to scuba diving accidents, injuries or death.
Gary Burger has numerous diving certifications and regularly dives at a well-known location in Missouri. He is an advanced diver experienced in cavern, wreck, deep and rescue diving. He is trained in rescue and handling problems encountered by divers in all diving environments and conditions. Gary is familiar with distinguishing between negligence of owners and operators of diving businesses and the negligence of certified divers contributing to their own scuba diving accidents, injury or death.
Mark Cantor has been scuba diving his entire life and is an advanced open water diver. He was certified while very young and has been around the world diving with his family. In fact, a family member of Mark’s had a scuba diving accident and was severely injured when a hydrogen battery which powered an underwater scooter exploded. His relative had serious injuries which required hours of emergent surgery. As a result of that experience, the family hired a personal injury attorney on a contingency fee and pursued a products liability claim against the manufacturer. There was a confidential settlement, but this was a driving force in Mark Cantor becoming a personal injury attorney.
