Personal Injury on the Norwegian Dawn: Norwegian Cruise Lines Negligent Safety Precautions
REA 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 Dawn, a cruise ship owned by Norwegian Cruise Line. On the date and time of the accident, Norwegian Cruise Line chose through its employees to mop the Garden Café and failed to post warning signs which were visible to someone entering the café. One side of the ceramic tile floor of the Garden Café is extremely slippery when it is wet and mopped. In fact, employees of the cruise line had posted signs on the side of a food or drink station which was opposite entrance side and not visible to someone entering the café. Thus, even though the cruise line knew that the area was slippery when wet and the cruise line purposely wet, that is, mopped the area, they failed to post signs visible from all entrances. Accordingly, when our client, Mr. Rea, entered the area, he slipped and fell causing serious, debilitating, and permanent injuries. Mr. Rea severely fractured his right femur and had to undergo surgery to repair his leg. We are fighting… for the safety and security of you and your family.
