John D’Agata, et al. v. Marvin Williams, et al.: Two people badly injured when a Jet Ski crashed into them as they floated in the Connecticut River were recently awarded $3.2 million by a judge trial referee in Hartford, though the plaintiffs’ lawyer says it’s unlikely they will collect nearly that much.
On July 30, 2011, at about 6:15 p.m., John D’Agata, 25, and Lisa Schildknecht, 24, were sitting in a round, yellow 5-foot-wide and 3-foot-high flotation device attached to the back of a motor boat by a 50-foot rope. The flotation device is designed for two people, who are supposed to be in a partially reclining position as a boat slowly tows them.
