Colorado Rafting Outfitter Says Waiver Means It’s Not Liable for Death
A Colorado rafting company says it can’t be held responsible for the 2016 death of a Maryland man because the victim signed a waiver before entering the boat.
Aspen Whitewater Rafting filed a counterclaim Aug. 8 in the U.S. District Court of Denver in a lawsuit brought by Allison Parker accusing the outfitter of negligence and fraud.
Parker’s 58-year-old husband, James Abromitis, died June 15, 2016, after being ejected from a boat during a rafting trip on the Roaring Fork River.
The counterclaim contends Parker committed breach of contract by filing the suit and should pay expenses associated with the litigation.
