Liability

liability

Anybody can be sued for anything if the plaintiff can find an attorney to take the case. This would extend to the land owner and the owner of the equipment involved in an accident. Those who render aid after the accident should have immunity under the good samaritan law.

If a suit is filed, you have no choice but to get your own attorney, so make sure your insurance covers defense legal expenses. They can be ruinous. Lawyers on both sides will be willing to settle the suit, but usually only after they have billed for a few hundred hours each.

The system sucks.

Chris:

I agree with you, but my point is that it may cost you the price of a blossoming three year old Field Champion to prove you were not grossly negligent.

Innocent until proven guilty is expensive regards,

Unfortunately, good and right don't always prevail. If you are not the deep pocket, you are definitely safer.
