The lawsuit was just settled on July 14, 2015. It's Case #30-2012-00608186-CU-PO-CJC filed on 10/29/12. Lots of Plaintiffs against Defendants SWD Recreation (ie. Irvine Lake), Serrano Water District, and The Irvine Company! Also, to make note there's ANOTHER LAWSUIT (Personal Injury) currently pending in Court against SWD Recreation (ie. Irvine Lake) that case is #30-2014-00726795-CU-PO-CJC filed on 06/05/14 for JONATHAN WRIGHT's personal injuries related to an accident that happened at Irvine Lake on or about June 9, 2012. Interesting to note, on June 24, 2012 was the drowning and capsized boat incident. Man, June of 2012 was not a good month for Irvine Lake!
Two lawsuits so far..... one settled, one pending! No wonder an insurance company won't touch Irvine Lake with a 10 foot rod. The plot thickens guys!
Irvine Lake (and management companies) could easily put this question to rest by offering a response, whose question many people have been alluding to in this thread. Of course, if any NDAs were signed after judgement, then perhaps that may be the reason why they are not responding with any detail.
But, in any case, I understand some individuals are already researching this particular court case and hopefully it's not too expensive to get copies of all the paperwork involved. Then everyone can wade through 100s of pages of court dockets to find out the real details that got presented.
This is tragic for both sides. Enough said.
I have a lot of wonderful memories with this lake and will continue to support it till the gate is close or the water run dry.
This is most likely the case DS. My question now is has precedent been set for this to happen at every lake that allows private boats to launch?Of course, if any NDAs were signed after judgement, then perhaps that may be the reason why they are not responding with any detail.
I hope not.
Although, the cynic in me says that these larger non-private bodies of water have better lawyers. ;-) (I mean, if what happened here was the case, Pyramid would be getting sued every weekend, with the amount of assery that occurs there.)
Which is why I'm interested in the documentation that I hope I get by the end of the week. I'd rather get it straight from the horse's mouth than get it from the defendant's side. I'd hate to see Irvine not being at fault for anything, but not having the funding to litigate this properly.
In baseball it's three strikes and your out, in the insurance world it's two strikes and your out.
Okay if a person drowned in a rental they cant sue you guys?
