LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ – Two men are dead and a third is injured following a two-boat accident that took place near the mouth of the Colorado River Friday evening.
The Los Angeles Daily News reports that first responders from both California and Arizona arrived at the scene, which is on the border between the two states. They pulled two badly injured men from the water and pronounced them dead at the scene. Officials from the Mojave County Sheriff’s office identified them as Jim Lee Dolson, 51, and Shawn Corey Fasulkey, 40, both residents of Los Angeles County.
A third man has been hospitalized in Nevada. Authorities have not released his name, but have confirmed that he is a 51-year-old resident of Arleta, CA.
Investigators with the Sheriff’s office say that the three men had been aboard a 21-foot boat that collided with a 42-foot boat as they were both headed south on the river. The operator of the larger vessel was found not to have been intoxicated at the time. Toxicology reports on the three California men have been ordered.

Talking to Phillips Law Group was the best thing I could do, at first I had my doubts if they really spoke Spanish, but if there are people who speak Spanish and help you so humanely, I recommend that you talk to them in case of accidents, they send you to the doctor They are in charge of guiding you in absolutely everything and after everything was paid I received a monetary compensation which I did not expect and it was a great blessing

I came to Phillips law group as a very naive individual. They took me under their wing and they took great care of me. Montana is his name and he had my back when no one else did. I can't explain what a relief that was in a dark and painful time. They made sure I had all the care I needed and they made great sacrifices to ensure I came out happy. You cannot go wrong with having Philips law group represent you. I'd recommend them to my family and friends and to you strangers. Montana I'm in your debt.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
