Even if they did fix the ship right after, there will still be able to testify to what was wrong with the ship. And if they were put on notice early enough and they STILL fixed the ship, there will be a motion done on spoliation of evidence. I am a paralegal and I am dealing with an insurance company who has done that (destroyed pictures) and the jury instruction (which is read at the end of the case before the jury gets the case) that the jury should take it as the person who has control, destroyed or modified the item because it would have reflected badly on the controller of the item. Meaning that the person modified it because it hurt them.

I just feel bad because this will take YEARS to finish. One case our firm is trying this week is a slip and fall in the LV Hilton (LV hilton stated that they were at fault which is huge for a slip and fall) and the incident happened in 2003.

brettystar, not funny considering that a very good actor can never work again due to this event.

muffie80, Thanks for answering my question. But, what I am wondering is if they could try to pretend that there was nothing really wrong with the ship so that way they wouldn't get into more trouble then they already are.
