“Accident” is the reporting term. In our advocacy, we call it what it is: a preventable crash, usually caused by choices on the water.
Liability may reach the operator, rental or tour companies, owners, maintenance providers, manufacturers (defects), and in some cases public entities responsible for dangerous conditions

Rafting through the Grand Canyon is one of Arizona’s most breathtaking adventures, but when a trip downriver turns tragic, we’re here to help. Even with signed waivers, rafting companies can still be held accountable if negligence played a role. Equipment failures, poorly trained guides, or inadequate safety briefings can all turn a scenic float into a preventable disaster.
Glen Canyon offers stunning waterways and challenging rapids, but accidents here can be severe. Common injuries include broken bones, head trauma, and near-drowning events, often caused by faulty gear, dangerous conditions, or untrained operators.
Rafting companies, tour guides, and equipment providers all have a duty to keep participants safe. When that duty is breached, through poor training, defective rafts, or ignoring known hazards. Operators can be held liable despite “assumption of risk” waivers.
With over two decades of experience handling complex water and recreation injury claims, from the Grand Canyon to Glen Canyon and every Arizona waterway in between, Torgenson Law brings deep knowledge of boating and recreation law and the same relentless advocacy that defines our firm. It’s personal and we fight like it.

OUI/BUI (Boating Under the Influence): Arizona makes it illegal to operate a motorized watercraft at or above 0.08 BAC within two hours of operation; drug impairment also qualifies. Commercial operators face tighter limits.
Comparative negligence (pure): you can recover even if you’re partly at fault; compensation is reduced by your percentage.
Deadlines: Most injury claims must be filed within two years; government-related claims require a Notice of Claim within 180 days and suit within a year. Don’t miss these—rights can be lost.
