TAHOE CITY, Calif. - Marylandian -- Venardi Zurada LLP stands with the victims and families impacted by the recent tragic boat capsizing on Lake Tahoe that claimed six lives and left two others missing. The accident, which occurred near D.L. Bliss State Park, has shaken the Northern California and Nevada communities as investigators and families search for answers in the wake of one of the deadliest maritime incidents the lake has seen in recent years.

Sudden Storm Turns Deadly

According to officials, the 27-foot vessel capsized after being overtaken by sudden and extreme weather conditions. High winds and large waves quickly developed on what had started as a calm summer afternoon, leaving passengers with little time to respond. While two people were rescued from the water, multiple others were unable to escape. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search after covering hundreds of square miles, though local dive teams continue recovery efforts.
