QUANT v. CARNIVAL
The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury aboard the Carnival Triumph, a cruise ship owned by Carnival Cruise Lines.
The Defendant cruise line, Carnival Corporation, owns and operates the cruise ship, Carnival Triumph. Carnival Corporation through its employees on the Carnival Triumph failed to maintain its floor and allowed food to remain on a slick, slippery marble floor surface in the Paris Dining Room, near Table 322. The food on the floor caused the surface of the floor to be slick, slippery, and extremely dangerous. Carnival knew or should have known that that particular floor is prone to having liquid and/or food spills because of its functional capacity as a dining room. Further, Carnival should have cleaned up and dried up the food on the slick, slippery marble surface where passengers are allowed to walk. A Carnival waiter pulled our client out of her seat and onto the dance floor and right into the marble tiled floor, where someone had previously spilled food. The actions of the waiter and the food on the floor made the floor slick and dangerous. As a result of Carnival’s negligence, our client slipped and fell, causing serious, debilitating, and permanent injuries. Our client in this case broke her coccyx and sustained other severe spinal injuries, which required surgery and implantation of hardware. Our client may be required to undergo surgery in the future.
