On Friday, May 13, 2011, Federal Judge Ursula Ungaro awarded $2,998,155.70 to a Carnival cruise ship passenger who was injured in a slip and fall accident. The case is styled: Denise Kaba, plaintiff v. Carnival Corporation, defendant; United States District Court Southern District of Florida Case No. 10-21627-CIV-UNGARO.
The accident was caused by the cruise line which had installed on the pool deck of its ship a resin surface. This surface was hard and slippery as ice. Carnival had known about numerous prior accidents on this same flooring surface on this and other ships. After discovery into this surface establishing these facts, the cruise line admitted liability.
The Plaintiff, Denise Kaba, slipped and fell on this pool deck surface on the Carnival Pride on August 22, 2009. As a result of the fall, Mrs. Kaba suffered a fractured patella and underwent six surgeries. Mrs. Kaba will need one to two total knee replacements in the future.
The trial to determine damages started on May 9, 2011. Final Judgment was entered on Friday, May 13, 2011.
