"Daniel Doyle had gone fishing with Leland Graske and another friend in October 2003 off Grand Cayman Island, where Graske owned a vacation home. After Graske began accelerating, the boat's steering system malfunctioned and forced the boat to turn suddenly. Doyle fell overboard and as the boat continued turning, it struck him. He suffered chest injuries and because of breathing difficulties while hospitalized, he suffered permanent brain damage."
