Hope the judge awards damages to the boat owner.

The judge may rule that the salvage claim is not legitimate, but I can
not imagine a judge awarding damages to the owner.

Would be nice to award legal costs to the boat owner. A little message to
the bad guys.

Somehow I have to believe the owner must have had insurance on the
boat, if so, all legal fees would be paid for by his insurance company.
My guess is they will finally settle for substantially less than the
10% of value, but substatially more than the $300 average tow.

Punitive.

I think Basskisser was asking what damages has the boat owner suffered?
If the boat owner has insurance, it is the insurance company is taking
this to court.
While the Tow Company may not prove his case, and be able to prove this
was truely a salvage situation, it would probably not be considered a
false claim.

time will tell, but I am willing to bet that no damages will be awarded
to the boat owner or insurance company. I would guess the insurance
company will settle prior to a judgement.

You just don't get it, do you? The owner hasn't suffered ANY damages
yet. Let alone punitive.

Actually *you* don't.

Bill said "Hope the judge awards damages to the boat owner."

Notice the key word *hope*.

You then said "What damages?", to which I replied "punitive".

You then went into a legal tirade.

Do you understand the word "punitive"?

Do you understand the word "hope"?

Go start a fight with someone else as I am done with this thread.
