Cruise Line Blamed in Bathroom Fall
The Orlando Sentinel reports that a lawsuit has been filed against Disney Cruise Line in connection with the death of a 78-year-old man who fell and struck his head against a bathtub. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the New York man was originally given a Tylenol when he went to shipboard health services after his fall. He returned later complaining of shortness of breath and pain, and was then diagnosed with broken ribs and a punctured lung. The lawsuit alleges that it took 5 hours for the ship to evacuate the man to a hospital. The man died two weeks later. His widow is asking for $75,000, claiming that the cruise line's slow and inefficient response, as well as its initial misdiagnosis, caused her husband's demise.
