The accident occurred in the Shannon Cove area, near Sacramento Point, in the afternoon. According to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, Dominic Marshall Lencioni, age 19, of Arroyo Grande and another teenager were struck by a 21-year-old riding a jet ski.

BOATING ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Candice Bond, an experienced boating accident attorney, said in cases such as this it's imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to better preserve evidence.
“An attorney can collect the proper evidence to help prove negligence, which requires a variety of resources,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.
“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze evidence from the scene and obtain records of a potentially liable party.
Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family during this difficult time, protecting their rights, while ensuring that a driver who does not obey traffic laws is held accountable.”
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the investigation, the family of Dominic Lencioni may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.
“We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."
