Legally that may be so, but don’t you think he has some moral responsibility for any damages caused by mistakes of employees of contractors or a company’s employees whose services he hired?
Again, see above.
That’s what I said. He should find a way to help whether he caused the damage or not, because he was involved and that’s the compassionate thing to do, not because he has some moral responsibility to fix mistakes whether he caused them or not.
So then you don’t care or think it matters whether or not the Port Authority caused the damage? Because I’d like more facts than the article gives before assigning blame. If that makes me an apologist, then so be it. But like you, I’m not big on knee-jerk reactions, even though my first instinct is to blame the guy whose yacht was the proximate cause of the damage.
ETA:
Question: Aren’t yacht owners and/or operators legally obligated to carry insurance the same way motorists are? Admittedly, I’m not a boat owner, but that seems like something that would be required. Now I’m curious. I’ll google it later when I have a moment.
