Lawsuit update: Utah Bear Attack 

An eleven year old boy died when attacked by a bear, which is an extremely said situation. However, the State of Utah cannot be held liable because as a government entity they are protected from suits.

See Judge dismisses state lawsuit over fatal bear attack.

In defending itself, the State of Utah admitted that it was negligent in not warning campers of a bear that had attacked other campers was in the vicinity. This lawsuit will not be a win, if the admission is used in other courts to hold someone liable for the actions of a wild animal.

It is still a bear, and you are out in the woods. When the State of Utah figures out how to control bears, let alone the people in its campgrounds, we will be watching both behind bars.
