Limiting

Liability

Some liabilities, such as those arising from collisions or the injury of a guest or crew member, are obvious. Other liabilities are less obvious: a large wash made by excessive speed can damage both fixed and floating objects some distance away. Occasionally, it may be possible to limit liability just by spelling this out in a well-drafted charter agreement or employment contract. Often, however, there will be no such contractual relationship with an aggrieved party.
