Ruggiero v. Yamaha Motor Corp. U.S.A.: A trial in federal court in a case involving a jet ski accident ended with a judge dismissing products liability counts against the distributor on Jan. 12.
According to defense counsel, on June 30, 2012, plaintiff Angela Ruggiero, 28, a sales assistant, was riding on the back of a jet ski operated by her boyfriend in the Absecon Inlet, between Atlantic City and Brigantine Beach. A nearby boat passed through the inlet and created two- to three-foot waves, prompting Ruggiero’s boyfriend to accelerate in order to cross the waves. In doing so, Ruggiero fell off the jet ski and into the water. She suffered a rectal tear.
