A Dream Big Game Hunting Vacation.... to the Arctic Circle goes horribly wrong.... in the flash of anbsp; moment .....On August 26, 2001.....for experienced big game bow hunters, Paul Brunner from Montana and Doug Otte from Nebraska...who were two of six hunters on a musk ox expedition north of the Arctic Circle in Nunavut, Canada. They went on a trip to the Cambridge Bay area of Nunavut Province, north of the Arctic Circle that was sold to them by Canada North, a foreign based company, to include the housing, food, a cook and other provisions during this 10 day hunt for musk ox. nbsp;
An explosion turned their cabin into an inferno, burning and trapping Brunner, Hampson and Otte. In this TV Special, nbsp; The Insider Exclusive presentsnbsp; Dream Vacations Gone Bad - The Paul Brunner and Doug Otte Story nbsp; nbsp; ...... and the legal challenges Americans face when you purchase your exotic vacations from a foreign-based company.
Litigating on behalf of travelers who have been seriously injured in exotic and distant locations can be challenging.... indeed.nbsp; Where and who, for example, are the viable and liable defendants in real life vacation disasters?
This INSIDER EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL discusses the Rights of Americans while traveling to exotic locations and liability of tour operators and air carriers for the tour participant's injuries sustained in foreign destinations.nbsp; Foreign companies cannot solicit U.S. Citizens for adventure trips and not be responsible for their negligent operations on those trips which result in serious, deforming injuries to their U.S. customers. A tour operator may be held liable for the consumer's physical injuries if the tour operator promised.... either expressly or implicitly.... that the tour would be delivered in a safe and careful manner.
Consumers, especially the parents of students, rely upon promises of close supervision in purchasing such a tour. Consumer injuries caused by the negligence of the tour guide may support claims against the tour operator for negligent selection and supervision of tour guides and misrepresentation of their training, expertise and knowledge of the tour locale. |
