Wow, a lot of money for what appears to be an inherent risk of the ocean

Several 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.
