The cruise attorneys of Brais Law Firm have brought suit against Celebrity Cruises for their negligence in causing a significant back injury to an Indian crew member who worked as a pastry chef aboard the Celebrity Solstice. The Complaint filed in Miami alleges Celebrity routinely would keep work areas within the pastry shop cluttered with garbage. When our client was carrying heavy metal baking trays through the wash area to the food preparation area, he slipped on the garbage. The weight of the trays combined with the manner by which he slipped caused multiple lumbar disk herniations requiring surgery. It should be noted that as a condition of working aboard the Celebrity Solstice, our client was examined and given a physical by a doctor selected by Celebrity. The Celebrity doctor issued a report finding no back or spinal problems.
