Titanic and Injury Claims

If you build a boat, the boat must float… or must it?  The band played on, but how did the lawsuit play out?  And would civil justice be any kinder today, some 100 years after the largest man made moving object on earth grazed an iceberg south of Cape Race, sinking forever into the pages of myth and history?  You be the judge… and jury!
That is the advertising summary – “blurb” if you like – I gave the Johnson Geo Centre in St. John’s to use for my presentation on the Titanic, to take place on the evening of Tuesday, February 7, 2012.  Lots of great video from YouTube!
What interested me as the hundredth anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking on April 15, 1912 approaches, is how did the legal claims fare that arose out of the Titanic disaster?  The short answer is not very well.  If the Titanic disaster occurred today, would the legal claims for compensation made by survivors, widows and orphans fare any better?

Come to the Johnson Geo Centre on February 7th, 2012 att 7:30 PM and find out!
