We should be able to ban all non negligent lawsuits.
What do you have when you have 100 unemployed lawyers?
The US Sentate.

That's the problem. Everyone thinks it going to happen to the "other guy" then no one person is responible. Boat can't argue very loudly at all.

negligence is a very subjective term...

That should be the job of the judicial systerm, IF they can quit making law for long enough to judge one that has already been made. Kind of a convoluted thought.
Especially when the laws have been written by unemployed lawyers.
Either that, or make me emperor, and I handle all three SEPARATE arms of our government system. Or so I was taught in high school civics class. I don't recall any ammendments changing that since I was in high school. Granted, that was long ago, and my memory may be fuzzy and could use some refreshing.

What a bunch of bull....fourteen people in a 22 footer....maybe Crownline should counter sue everyone involved that is still with the living for unsafe boat operation....When will people take responsibility for their own actions....Good thing I'm not on the jury I would award the boat manufacturer damages for slander and loss of business due to the negative publicity...There is a reason that in most states have occupancy limits on boats....where they don't it's usually "OR" Owner's Responsibility..... I wouldn't think you could safely transport that many people on a small open bow boat in the first place...

Boat racing? :lurk5:
Said this before- when the one dude raised a stupid point in the Anna Nicole Smith thing; the Judge made him pay for the other dudes lawyer, the courts time, the reporters time and some more stuff. Dumbass cost himself around $125K that day- start that here and 80% of the cases will never happen. Instead we award them the $125K+..

This sums it up Phragle.......
How come no one is "just an A-hole" anymore, and nothing is ever anyones fault for some reason.
They were "abused as children", had a "rough life" or someone else didnt do something blah blah...pi$$es me off..and costs us all money.
I hope crownline stacks a boatload of charges on these guys- and you can still get a BUI even though you aren't legally drunk, and given people were killed it would likely stick.
grrrrrrrrr

FL has a fee provision in cases like this. If you sue and you lose you have to pay the other party's legal fees. I believe you just have to lose by more than 25% (as in you get 25% or less of what you intended to get).

Been trying to get that passed in Michigan forever. Can't. The judges throw out the signatures on the petitions or some other BS. In Michigan it is bad. Someone sues you for $10 mill, you're found 10% responsible, you owe $1 mill. Needless to say, lawsuit after lawsuit.
