    So a guy takes a raft trip on white water with rapids knowing it was dangerous and then the wife thinks she has to sue? What was he on, weed?

    Generally you sign waivers prior to getting in the raft. I think she’s saying that they weren’t warned how bad the rapids were. I highly doubt this. BUT in todays world you have to try to get money from someone.

      Also possible that he signed up for a raft trip w/o rapids, or the rapids were mild (Class I ?), or the operator of the raft was improperly trained, or the waiver isn’t valid, or, or, or…

      We ARE a litigious society, and if the plaintiff can find an attorney to take the case, well, they’re off to the court-races. From my experience, most plaintiff lawyers are looking to settle anyway; taking a case to a jury is WAY to risky.
