I had a docked sailboater do the same thing to me but he took out his camera as well..shouting across the marina that he was sending his photographic evidence of my excessive wake to the water patrol. Needless to say......I never heard from anybody about it. :sifone: BTW....I was running on...

Next time you're stuck at the DMV take a look around....that's a jury of your peers! SCARY STUFF!:banghead:

This is why this country needs tort reform. We no longer pursue the responsible party but the one with the deepest pockets!

Agreed completely and I think some good points are being brought up and debated. Did you know that all residents of Alaska receive a yearly subsidy from the oil companies? A friend of mine lives in Juneau, has nothing to do with the oil industry and receives a check every year....basically...

They're supporting the local economy......Go Capitalism!

If it was out back for years and owned by Fountain I wonder if this boat was listed as an asset in the bankruptcy filing. Perhaps the asking price is being used to justify a value they have for it on the books. If it sells or not....it still can justify a book value. Just a thought.

Reading this thread I believe valid points have been made regarding the expense of health care and the average persons inability to pay the sometimes astronomic costs. However, what I think is missing is WHY health care costs so much. Let's face it....that is a large part of the reason why...

I would go with the Sam's Club or Walmart batteries. My girlfriend used to work for Johnson Controls in their battery division. From the same plant they would make batteries for Walmart, DieHard and Interstate. She said the only real difference was the label. They were all filled from the...

Just want to remind everybody that the new Season of South Park starts tonight!

Ahhhh.....real commentary from an expert on the subject. Perhaps it's time for a career change for Ms. Bushman WzY3QV6MkGs

Wobble, It will show as a loss but it is a loss that did not result from any negligence on the part of your employees so it would be considered "non-chargeable". That actually does make a difference when your policy comes up for renewal. The insurance carrier usually does not put a lot of...

I'll preface by saying I've been employed as a claims adjuster in Illinois for 14 years handling auto, liability and property claims and here is my free opinion on your situation without knowing all of the facts. You are dealing with 2 separate issues here; Legal liability and contractual...

Agreed. I work as a multi line claims adjuster in Illinois. That building has to be a mess from heat and smoke damage and I highly doubt he could conduct any business operations out of any part of that building.

Even though it may be illegal to store gasoline in the building it shouldn't be enough cause for his insurer to restrict or deny coverage on the loss.
