Boating Accident

I don't think askinga question of that magnitude on a boating forum would be call legitimate. SUre we boat, sure there have been accidents. I think the ramifications of this one are what lead some to call BS
 
KBS, Why would this not be a legit question. Maybe you can enlighten us all.
 
First of all, nobody here "jumped down her throat" - we were given incomplete information. From the very beginning, she has been told a public forum is not the place to air this information and that she should contact her insurance company and/or her attorney.

CHICK - have you done either of those two simple things yet??

If the answer is YES, then I'm sure you have been told not to discuss the matter with anyone but them. If the answer is NO, then shame on you!
 
Good let us all know what you find. We're hanging on your every post.
 
I presume this means that you actually have an attorney, at least that is a start.

Ask him how he feels about you posting on a public forum.
 
Let's make one thing perfectly clear. The accident report does not determine who was at fault, even if a driver was cited for some infraction at the time. This is only determined by the courts if the case is litigated. Most are not litigated but are settled by the representatives (insurance companies, lawyers) of the affected parties. Beachchick may be found to be liable or she may not, but that will not be determined by the accident report (although it will be an important piece of information). If in this case the boat driver is found to be completely at fault then beachchick would not be liable (in fact the boat driver would be liable for damages to her PWC). As the owner of the PWC if the child is found to be at fault she would be liable.
 
Navman, just the subject, how it was presented, where it was presented, the timing of the presentation. Never mind, guess I don't really have any facts to pass judgement on the verasity of this one. And now she inserts that she has retained legal council, the insurance folks have replied, and then she posts on an open forum. Maybe I am on to something here. Nah, probably not
 
Beach .... one more time, did you have LIABILITY insurance on your jet ski? If so the insurance company should have provided an attorney for you and instructed you to say nothing more to ANYONE without consulting him/her first. If you did not have insurance, get your check book ready.
 
Chick, insurance companies has thousands of lawyers that work for them. If you have been served with papers, they are obligated to represent you.
 
Check to see if your homeowners policy covers this.
 
i think Les needs to add a big warning onthe registration form :

"Warning - clickish private group, enter at your own risk and make sure your first posts are detailed, spailshaked and accurate."

guys, we are not a court of law but an internet forum !

why would anyone make up such a story ? why ?

Served with what papers? All I received in the regular mail was an estimate by the boater's insurance company asking for payment. They aren't obligated to represent you if you weren't the "OPERATOR" of the vessel at the time of the accident.

From the very first post on this thread:

I'm personally being sued for the damages to the boat...anyone know???

In your first post, you said you were being sued.
Now you're saying you haven't been served with papers, just presented with an estimate asking for payment.

Putting it nicely....Your story is full with inconsistencies....hence the skeptism
