A 75-year-old retired chief of police was taking a fishing trip. As he began to get off the boat, it was well below the adjacent dock. The fishing outfitter neglected to provide a step or other assistance. The man fell back into the boat, breaking his leg and ankle. The case settled after negotiations.
