Default RE: Would you sue?


ORIGINAL: Morison

To be clear here, are we talking about suing MAAC for not providing adequite safety controls or guidelines or are we simply talking about filing an insurance claim for bodily injury and the resulting damages.

Mark, is your question "If I were severly injured as a result of a guideline or rule implimented by the association would I sue ... " or "if I were severly injured at a field becaus my buddy lost control, would I file an insurance claim?"

The protection for these two are actually under two different policies I beleive. Directors and Officers coverage would cover the first and the member's insurance the second.
Originally, my interest was a claim for bodily injury/damages. I was interested in the moral decision one would have to make if you were injured. Would you consider the "fate" of MAAC when making a decision to file a suit...............or would you listen to the lawyer who tells you that some kind of a "payday" is down the road regardless of the circumstances.

I wasn't considering whether or not MAAC had put adequite rules in place......but I'm game to explore all areas.
