A wrongful death lawsuit seeking $100 million was filed on Sunday against the owners and operators of a Missouri duck boat company on behalf of two deceased members of a family that lost nine when a boat capsized last month, per the AP.
The details: The case alleges negligence and other illegal behavior by Ride the Ducks Branson and its owner Ripley Entertainment, claiming that the company failed to make required upgrades to the boats, was warned last year that the boats' pumps could fail in bad weather, and violated its own weather and safety procedures on the date of the accident.
