What is the name of your state? California
A year an a half ago I was invited to go camping, boating and skiing with new friends over a holiday weekend. It was the last day of the holiday and I was in the water trying to get situated to ski. The life jacket was so soaked and heavey I was sinking, not floating. I started to circle my arms to tread water and drifted toward the boat. The driver's vision of me was blocked by a rubber raft he had on the back of the boat. No one was watching me in the water and the driver took off. The rope tightened and snapped around my body, caught my arm and drug me until another boater brought it to the driver's attention. When they finally stopped they tried to pull me into the boat but the life jacket was still to heavy and I had to be drug even more to the shore.
I am disabled for life. There was no insurance on the boat. The driver failed to report the accident. I could not even feed myself for the first six months, let alone work. I have gone through my savings. I cannot work the same work as before but I am willing to retrain.
What can I do now?
