Wow, a lot of money for what appears to be an inherent risk of the ocean
Posted: January 5, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentSeveral personal injury attorney blogs are reporting a $5.75 million settlement over two drowning deaths. The first decedent received $5 million for the death the decedent drowned in a riptide while trying to rescue the second decedent who received $750,000.
Supposedly, the Florida Supreme Court ruled earlier that cities have a duty to warn beach goers of dangerous conditions.
So expect big signs on Florida’s beaches that say. You can Drown in the Ocean.

Were there warning signs about riptides? We have those signs in California. Riptides are nasty, and most people don't expect the ocean to behave like that.
