Attorney Robert B. Baker was recently featured in Law360 Pulse for the launch of Water Accident Lawyers, a national law firm focused exclusively on catastrophic water-related injury and wrongful death cases. With more than 35 years of experience in maritime and water-injury litigation, Baker founded the firm to address a critical need for specialized representation in an area of law that many general personal injury practices are not equipped to handle.
Throughout his career, Baker has secured over $400 million in recoveries for victims of drowning incidents, boating and jet ski collisions, maritime injuries, watercraft defects, and resort or water-park accidents. After previously selling his high-volume practice, he decided to create a niche firm dedicated solely to helping families affected by water-related tragedies. His goal is to provide individualized attention while leveraging the nationwide network of experts, co-counsel, and resources he has built over decades.
In the Law360 feature, Baker explained that water-accident cases often involve a unique blend of legal issues — including maritime law, product liability, federal safety regulations, and premises liability. Because of this complexity, victims are often at a disadvantage when dealing with large corporations and insurance companies. Baker emphasized that specialized legal knowledge is essential not only to pursue justice and compensation, but also to help prevent future tragedies through greater awareness and improved safety practices.
With plans to expand into additional states, including Texas, Utah, California, and the Northeast, Baker intends for Water Accident Lawyers to become a trusted national resource for victims of water-related accidents and for attorneys seeking guidance on complex maritime cases.
