Leland Graske U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-3144 District of Nebraska - Omaha [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Hansen, Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Admiralty. Substantial evidence supported the district court's determination that defendant breached a duty of reasonable care to plaintiff by bringing his boat to planing speed when plaintiff was in a position of danger; neither did the court err in finding that defendant's negligence in operating the boat was a proximate and substantial cause of plaintiff's injuries; there is no well-settled admiralty rule authorizing loss-of-consortium damages for spouses of nonseafarers negligently injured beyond the territorial waters of the U.S., and the district court erred in awarding plaintiff's spouse damages for loss of consortium.
