If someone were going diving and you agree to pump oxygen for them but didn't and they end up drowning, would you be legally responsible?

Answered 5 years ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

First, when you say legally responsible, eo you mean criminally or civilly?  The standards are different, but really the answer to either is it depends on the circumstances.  Did you fall asleep after the person dove, or did you let the person know two weeks befroe the dive that you would lnot be able to pump oxygen?  Were you unable to pump oxygen because you had a heaert attack, or did you just decide you were mad at the diver?  If you were on the boat and just decided not to pump oxygen, knowing that the diver was relying on you to do so and that he/she would be in danger of drowning if you didn't, or perhaps even intending that he/she drown, you could be liable both criminally and civilly.  If you let the diver know a week in advance, so that he/she could have decided not to dive, you could be liable civilly for breaching your contract, but not criminally (althoug it is not clear what damages you'd be responsible for, perhaps the extra cost of hiring osmeone else to pump the oxygen; under those circumstances it's very unlikely that you'd be liable for wrongful death, although I wouldn't put it past some lawyer to sue you for it).  There are many other possible scenariox with differeing facts which could lead to different results....

Husband had accident with golf cart and is being charged for damages is this legal?

If your husband did not enter into any agreement about the matter, than he cannot be forced to pay charges just because the cart owner says so, but if he is sued and it is found that his negligence caused the accident, he will be responsible to cover the damages caused by his negligence.

i read my neighbors mail by accident can i be sued

Answered 10 years and a month ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Bruce Robins
Anyone can sue anyone for anything, but that doesn't mean that your neighbor would win.  You did not act intentionally, and your neighbor suffered no damages.  I did the exact same thing last night, but apparently my neighbor is more reasonable than yours.  I wouldn't worry about it.... Read Answer
