An Arkansas passenger who took a cruise aboard the Carnival Sunshine retained our lawyers after slipping on the Lido Deck. This particular cruise ship is known to our lawyers as having issues with its exterior decks. In this case, the passenger was walking across the Lido Deck on when she slipped and fell. The accident resulted in a fractured ankle. Cruise lines such a Carnival are obligated under maritime law to provide passengers with a ship that is reasonably safe. It is BBR’s position that a ship known to have many slip and fall incidents cannot be found reasonably safe. This case is currently pending before a Florida federal court.
