A lawsuit is being filed over the 2008 wrongful death of a 14 year-old boy.
The boy died after crashing a water scooter into a dock May 24, 2008 on Egypt Lake. The boy's younger brother was also riding on the scooter, and suffered injuries in the crash.
The parents are suing the owner of the water scooter, claiming that he was negligent. They believe that his lack of supervision and consent to allow the boys to ride the scooter despite a lack of training led to the crash and both the death and injuries suffered. The family filed the suit in the Hillsborough County Circuit Court.
The suit is seeking payment for damages exceeding $15,000.
