After surviving a motor vehicle head on collision, our client, Whitewater Drowning Death Leads to New Laws
When Don was working on the wrongful death case of former University of Oregon Law School Dean Chapin Clark, he knew what happened should have been against the law. Clark was killed in 2002 on the Rogue River during a professionally guided fishing trip, because the outfitter and guide lacked the necessary rescue skills and safety equipment. The case revealed that in Oregon, there are no laws requiring such rescue skills and equipment for businesses involved in one of the state’s most popular outdoor activities.
Don worked with the Clark family to get new laws passed that would raise the safety standards for professional river guides and outfitters. More importantly, it would save lives. The 2005 laws require guides and outfitters to carry life vests, throw bags and other equipment, and have receive formal training in river rescue techniques, emergency procedures and equipment recovery.
