Contact Wilmington, NC, accident attorney Gary Shipman if you or a family member has been injured in a car, truck or SUV accident, as a result of medical or nursing home malpractice, or suffered any injury as a result of another person's or company's negligence. http://wilmington.injuryboard.com/tag/Boating/ <p>Two years ago this month, a fatal boating accident occurred on <a href="http://smith-mountain-lake.com/">Smith Mountain Lake </a>in Virginia. Now the estates of the two men killed in that accident have filed <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/201143">lawsuits </a>against the boat's owner, the boat manufacturer, the company that performed maintenance on the boat and others. The lawsuits allege that faulty maintenance and manufacture caused the 33-foot <a href="http://www.hackerboat.com/">Hacker Craft </a>boat to capsize, resulting in the deaths of Richard Smith and David Reynolds.</p> <p>A post-accident investigation by the <a href="http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/">Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries </a>determined that a combination of high winds and a malfunctioning cooling system that caused the boat's hull to fill with water made the boat capsize and sink. The manufacturer of the cooling system has also been named in both lawsuit. Both lawsuits seek over $10 million in damages for the deaths of these men.</p> <p> </p><a href="http://wilmington.injuryboard.com/wrongful-death/lawsuits-filed-in-2007-fatal-boating-accident.aspx?googleid=261100">Originally posted</a> at <a href="http://www.InjuryBoard.com">InjuryBoard</a> by <a href="http://www.injuryboard.com/Jean-Martin/">Jean Martin</a> http://wilmington.injuryboard.com/wrongful-death/lawsuits-filed-in-2007-fatal-boating-accident.aspx?googleid=261100 Wilmington Personal Injury Lawyer - Boating Wrongful Death boating defective product Jean Martin Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:20:05 GMT
