Question: What happens if my boat sank because of the boat yard's negligence?

Answer: In a case where a boat sank due to the boat. yard's negligence, you should make sure to have documentation of the boat prior to the sinking, showing that there was not a pre-existing cause that would have caused the boat to sink.

You should review your contract/agreement with the boat yard, insurance agreements, and any other applicable documents.
