Default Even a small boat can be involved in a big lawsuit....

I am no lawyer, but I recall from a Business Law class, the instructor,
who also happened to be a local judge, commented about a similar
scenario. This is para-phrased as it's been a few years, but the concept
is spot on: "It is not always a matter of who is right or wrong, but who
or what entity in the chain has the most money".

We has been discussing a product liability case in which the local shop
that sold the product to the consumer, along with EVERY company with any
involvement in the processing & production was named in the lawsuit.
