The Wagner Law Group has announced the opening of an Injury Hotline for victims of a severe storm that struck Lake Tahoe on June 21, 2025, causing a tragic boating accident. The storm, characterized by high winds exceeding 30 knots and waves over 8 feet, caught many boaters unprepared, leading to a capsized vessel with approximately 10 people on board. Six individuals lost their lives, two remain missing, and two were rescued and hospitalized.
Butch Wagner, a Personal Injury Lawyer and Founder of The Wagner Law Group, emphasized the importance of investigating the incident to determine accountability and prevent future tragedies. The law group, with over 30 years of experience in personal injury and watercraft accidents, is offering legal assistance to those affected by the storm.
The incident raises critical questions about boating safety and the need for preparedness in the face of sudden weather changes. With the water temperature in the upper 50s and overnight lows bringing snow to the area, the survival chances for the missing individuals are slim, highlighting the perilous conditions faced by those on the water.
The Wagner Law Group's response to the tragedy underscores the broader implications for boating safety regulations and the need for increased awareness and education to prevent similar incidents in the future. The firm's expertise in personal injury and wrongful death cases positions it to advocate for the victims and their families during this difficult time.
