Washington Family Settles for $350k After Otter Attack on Toddler
A family in Washington has reached a $350,000 settlement with the Port of Bremerton following an incident where their toddler was attacked by a river otter at a marina in September 2024. The attack, which occurred while the family was walking along a dock, resulted in the child being pulled into the water and sustaining injuries. The lawsuit claimed that the otters were known nuisances at the marina, but the port disputed these claims. The settlement, paid by the port's insurance, includes funds for legal costs and a trust for the family.
