Description
This case involves a general maritime action for wrongful death arising out of the sinking of a boat known as the Sea Mar III ("Sea Mar") in Lake Michigan. The manufacturer of the boat, the Whittaker Corporation, appeals the District Courts finding that the negligent design of the boat was a proximate cause of the sinking. It also appeals the award of damages for pre-death terror, fright and shock in the absence of eyewitness evidence regarding the deaths as well as certain evidentiary issues. The owner of the boat appeals from the finding that his negligence contributed to the sinking. He also appeals the refusal of the court to limit his liability pursuant to 46 U.S.C. § 183. The decedents appeal the denial of prejudgment interest and denial of parents claims for loss of society of adult, nondependant sons. We AFFIRM in part and REVERSE in part. All of the parties appeal various damage issues.
