First one was before the watercraft was sold. A visual inspection only, which our insured dealership did and found no cracks or problems with it. The second one was after we sold it and notification would have come from Sea-doo to the owner. This one was for replacement of the tank at any local dealer. Suit alleges that the defendants sold and distributed defective and unreasonably dangerous products; the warning provided were inadequate and caused/contributed to incident.

Two and a half years of defense before our insured was granted release.

  • $17,000

    Dealership repaired the fuel system of a boat and fueled it before releasing it to the customer. Customer was using the boat later with 5 patrons on board. Customer went to start the boat and it blew up with 6 patrons on board (1 captain and 5 guests). Fuel blower was either missing or malfunctioned or operator error when captain started the boat. Dealership and boat manufacturer settled the case out of court the night before the trial date instead of "rolling the dice" in court with a jury. If found liabilily verdict came down against dealership, legal council estimated payment in the low 7 figure range.

  • $91,000

Cushions were touching the light and caught fire. Near total loss of the yacht. Paid coverage of marina operators legal liability with no :per vessel" limitation.

At one point these owners had something in common with you...

"They thought this always happens to other people"

Now imagine your agent cut some corners to get the best price for you and now you just got a letter from the carrier declining to cover your claim.

Legal fees alone can be a major expense for a business.

Once there is a claim there is no backtracking or second chance to make sure you have coverage.
