Case Analysis - McSparran Vs. Larson

Yania vs. Bigan

Facts: John E. Bigan is being accused for the drowning of Joseph F. Yania who voluntarily jumped from the side wall of a height of 16 to 18 feet into water and drowned on John E. Bigan’s property.

Issue: Is John E. Bigan responsible for Joseph F. Yania’s death?

Answer: No

Court Reasoning: The court found that with out a shadow of a doubt Yania, whether reckless and dangerous was responsible for his own actions. He trusted his own skills and jumped into that water so the case was dismissed.

My opinion: I agree with the court. Everything the widow claims is off of hearsay so she is going by what she thinks happened. It was his own stupidity, whether a great swimmer or not, to jump from a side wall of 16 to 18 feet into water to start a pump that could have been handle in a different way. I feel that Yania was very careless and wasn’t thinking clearly on other ways to get the pump started.
