Family Cottage Boat Protection
April 13th, 2010
| Author: Dan A. Penning
Launching a boat in Michigan waters during the month of April is not very common. Boat insurance policies, however, generally begin to provide coverage on April 15. If you’ve not given much thought to your boat insurance policy, this spring might be a good time to review your policy and determine if you need more protection as you navigate the Great Lakes or Michigan’s inland lakes while at the family cottage.

How Cottage Waterfront Property Owners are Protected from Personal Injury Lawsuits
April 6th, 2010
| Author: Dan A. Penning
As weather in Michigan becomes warmer signaling the approach of summer, family cottage owners of waterfront property begin thinking about boats, docks, jet skis, etc. Every summer, unfortunate accidents occur which affect family cottage owners and their guests that are related to water and recreational activities: swimmers make a wrong judgment regarding the depth of the water and dive off the cottage dock into shallow water resulting in severe neck injuries, boaters and those driving personal watercraft can be blinded by the sun and fail to see someone skiing or tubing behind a boat resulting in a catastrophic accident, a “slip and fall” during a game of volleyball played on the beach or in shallow water can cause unexpected and long-lasting injuries.
