KUPIEC v. ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Liberty of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.

Royal Caribbean uses stainless steel grates over the bathroom drains at the threshold of certain passenger cabins. These drains are as wide as the threshold and are approximately 5 to 6 inches deep. These grates are chrome with a polished finish for appearance. Royal Caribbean also requires or allows its room stewards and cleaners who clean the passenger cabins to apply some sort of film or spray polish or cleaner to these surfaces. When the film, spray polish, or cleaner is applied to the polished stainless steel or chrome and not wiped clean, it makes the surface slick as ice.

Royal Caribbean either does not require or does not properly train its crew members to avoid use of any sort of polish or chrome cleaner to polished stainless steel or chrome to prevent slips and falls. In fact, Royal Caribbean’s cleaner in this case applied the film or polish to the polished stainless steel or chrome surface of the threshold making it slick as ice. The cleaner failed to wipe the chrome or polished stainless steel dry to prevent slips and falls.

When the passenger, Mrs. Kupiec, walked into the bathroom on the Liberty of the Seas and stepped onto the polished threshold, her foot slipped forward causing her to fall back and suffer severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries requiring surgery and insertion of hardware into her right arm.

JACOBY v. ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Serenade of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line owns and operates the Serenade of the Seas. The cruise line designs and participates in the construction of its ships, including but not limited to, the Serenade of the Seas. The cruise line maintained on this ship a raised metal strip in the flooring in or near a large passageway which is close to the ship’s main dining room. It is believed that that passageway is aft of the main dining room. This raised metal strip is a hazard to anyone walking over the strip.

On the date and time of this accident, our client, Ms. Jacoby, was walking through that large passageway. She tripped on the raised metal strip, causing her to fall and suffer serious, debilitating, and permanent injuries. From those injuries, Ms. Jacoby has been required to undergo, thus far, two surgeries of her shoulder.

EIDISSEN v. ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines failed to maintain the permanent ballast tanks onboard the Monarch of the Seas. These ballast tanks contain mixtures of various types of water including gray water, pulper water and sea water. This mixture creates hydrogen sulfide gas. Hydrogen sulfide gas can be lethal to human life. For this reason, it is essential that the ballast tanks, the vents of the ballast tanks and the piping to and from the ballast tanks be inspected, cleaned, maintained, repaired, reamed out and free of debris on a regular basis and under controlled circumstances. This type of maintenance can be a matter of life and death; if it is not performed on a regular basis, the resulting build up and leakage of noxious gas can be lethal to human life.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines failed to perform this routine maintenance on the ballast tanks onboard of the Monarch of the Seas cruise ship. Accordingly, the ballast tanks, including permanent ballast tank number 11, became clogged. This allowed a congestion or accumulation of these types of water which in turn created hydrogen sulfide gas.

The Marine Department directed that the piping to that tank be rerouted. When the workers who were directed to reroute the piping opened the tank, lethal hydrogen sulfide gas escaped in a huge cloud which killed three crew members. Other crew members, including Mr. Eidissen, were also exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas for extended periods of time.

After this incident, the class certification society, Det Norske Veritas issued a condition of class which is an approval of their inspection with exceptions. The exception provided that the subject bilge tank was required to be vented overboard when the ship was at sea. Despite the fact that Royal Caribbean represented on its logs that venting took place only when at speed and at sea, venting actually took place whenever there was a pressure build up at times when the ship was not at speed and even in port. When the tanks are vented and the ship is not at speed, that is, the ship is drifting or at anchor or at dock, the noxious gas is then sucked into the vessel and thus into the passenger areas including cabins through the air conditioning intakes. This allowed the methane and hydrogen sulfide gas to leak into habitable areas on the ship including the areas in which Mr. Eidissen worked and passenger cabins.

Royal Caribbean vented the tanks improperly and allowed a deadly gas to leak into work areas and passenger cabins for months following this accident. Logs in the engine room and bridge had stated that the passenger and crew were exposed to gas for an extended period of time after this accident. To make matters worse, after this incident the cruise line failed and refused to properly evacuate the area of the hydrogen sulfide gas exposure and required officers and crew to work under conditions in which excessive amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas were present. This in turn caused Mr. Eidissen to be overly exposed to hydrogen sulfide and to suffer severe, permanent, and debilitating injuries.

Yet, after this accident the cruise line has failed and refused to provide proper medical care and treatment to Staff Captain Eidissen. Instead, the cruise line overworked Mr. Eidissen and others and deprived Mr. Eidissen of the health and sleep he needed while working aboard Royal Caribbean’s vessels. In consequence of these conditions, Mr. Eidissen suffered from stress, fatigue and depression that caused or contributed to the cause of his current condition or injury. Excessive fatigue resulted from the excessive work hours, inadequate assistance, and sleep deprivation.

DENNIS v. SUPERCLUBS INTERNATIONAL

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury involving a negligently operated and maintained Superclubs International passenger van.

Our client, Ms. Dennis, was participating in a vacation package to the Hedonism III Resort in Jamaica. The package was organized and arranged by Superclubs International in or from Florida, and/or was sold to Ms. Dennis by Superclubs International from Florida. The subject vacation package included airport transfer ground transportation on the island of Jamaica between the resort and the airport.

Superclubs International billed their customers, including Ms. Dennis, directly for airport transfers and, upon information and belief, made a profit on each transfer sold to a customer, including Ms. Dennis, who received her transfer tickets from Superclubs International as promised.

The morning of her departure, pursuant to her participation in the subject vacation package, Ms. Dennis boarded a 15-passenger van which appeared at the Hedonism III resort to transfer Ms. Dennis and her party from the resort to the airport. During the trip, and at all other relevant times, the subject van was negligently operated and maintained. The subject van had no seatbelts for rear passengers, such as Ms. Dennis.

As a result, when the van was in a motor vehicle collision, Ms. Dennis suffered a broken leg, fractured spine, and intestinal injuries.

DeMARCO v. ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Enchantment of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line owns and operates approximately 20 vessels. On each of those vessels, Royal Caribbean has designed and installed a Windjammer Café with tile floors. In the Windjammer Café on the Enchantment of the Seas, Royal Caribbean negligently maintained the flooring such that a greasy film was deposited and left over the entire floor either from the fact that the cruise line did not clean the floor sufficiently when they did clean it, from the fact that the cruise line did not clean the floor often enough, or from the fact that the cruise line used a greasy or otherwise inappropriate solution, solvent, and/or degreaser to clean the area.

Further, Royal Caribbean chose to mop the floor actually during mealtime so that the floor was in a constant state of wetness and greasiness during high traffic times. Also, the flooring of this air conditioned room is positioned close to automatic doors which open to the outside humid air. Condensation from that air contributes to the wetness of this area. Royal Caribbean’s representatives even acknowledged that they had a “problem”.

Our client, Ms. Demarco, walked onto the ceramic tile floor. As a result of the constant repetitive state of that floor, she slipped and fell suffering severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries.

BELLA v. OSHKOSH CORPORATION

The following is a description of a personal injury/product liability case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury involving a Lull Forklift that rolled off a trailer and crushed the forklift operator.

On or about February 16, 2006, our client, Mr. Bella, was operating a 1999 Lull Forklift in Vero Beach, Florida. Mr. Bella was operating the forklift onto a trailer so that the forklift could be transported to another location.

KEKLIKIAN v. CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Carnival Paradise, a cruise ship owned by Carnival Cruise Line.

Carnival Cruise Line negligently maintained its dance floor on the Carnival Paradise. The cruise line on this ship encouraged its more than 2000 passengers to drink to excess. The cruise line also allowed passengers to bring drinks onto the dance floor in the Rex Disco, and failed to monitor or supervise any of the activities of the passengers in the lounge or on the darkened dance floor, and failed to monitor and keep clean the darkened dance floor. To make matters worse, the cruise line completely failed to clean up the alcoholic drinks which were spilled on the darkened dance floor. Those drinks have, among other things, fruit juices, sodas with sugars, hard liquor, wine, and beer.

Despite the complaints and advice of passengers to the cruise line before this accident that the dance floor had drinks spilled on it and needed cleaning, the cruise line failed to clean the dance floor. Yet, the cruise line provided a dance club with low, dark lighting in general and altered lighting on the dance floor which further hid any spills on the floor, and which makes the importance of keeping the dance floor clean by enforcing rules and by cleaning the floor even more important.

As a result of these negligent practices, the dance floor in the Rex Disco had spilled drinks and Ms. Keklikian slipped and fell on the dance floor causing serious, debilitating, and permanent injuries. Ms. Keklikian underwent two surgeries on her left small finger and may have to undergo surgery in the future.

AZZARO v. ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Empress of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line waxed the floor immediately inside a doorway leading to the outside open air deck. This floor was waxed to the point that it was as slick as ice. Yet, the person who waxed the floor who was present at the time of the accident failed to post any signs or warnings that the floor was slippery and waxy, failed to cordon or rope off the area, failed to place any rug or other covering down over the area, failed to lock or obstruct the door through which Ms. Azzaro entered the area, and failed to verbally or otherwise warn Ms. Azzaro about the slick area. The floor had an incline immediately inside the door, a condition dangerous unto itself even without the waxing.

On the day of the accident, Ms. Azzaro walked from the outside area on Deck Ten into the area where the floor had been waxed and, when she put one foot inside that area slipped and fell causing severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries.

ESPINOZA v. NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Norwegian Star, a cruise ship owned by Norwegian Cruise Line.

Norwegian Cruise Line created a kiddie pool on the Norwegian Star. Descending into that pool area steps which the cruise line had coated or surfaced with an extremely slippery and dangerous surface or had cleaned or allowed material to accumulate which would make that surface extremely slippery and dangerous. That surface is so slippery and dangerous that someone descending the steps, even holding onto the rail would slip and fall causing injury.

On the date of this accident, our client, Ms. Espinoza was the one walking down the steps of the kiddie pool with her son. Ms. Espinoza held onto the rail with her right hand. As she took her first step, on a step which was dry and not submerged, the surface was slick as ice, her foot slipped and she fell onto her elbow which contacted that first step even though her right arm was still holding on to the rail. This negligence of the cruise line in allowing those steps to be coated or treated or to be created out of an extremely slippery and dangerous material or to maintain them such that the material is extremely slippery and dangerous caused not only this accident, but also Ms. Espinoza suffered a fractured elbow which required surgery which included insertion of pins and wires. This has caused severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries.
