SLIP & FALL ON ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE
AZZARO v. ROYAL CARIBBEAN 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 Empress of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line waxed the floor immediately inside a doorway leading to the outside open air deck. This floor was waxed to the point that it was as slick as ice. Yet, the person who waxed the floor who was present at the time of the accident failed to post any signs or warnings that the floor was slippery and waxy, failed to cordon or rope off the area, failed to place any rug or other covering down over the area, failed to lock or obstruct the door through which Ms. Azzaro entered the area, and failed to verbally or otherwise warn Ms. Azzaro about the slick area. The floor had an incline immediately inside the door, a condition dangerous unto itself even without the waxing. On the day of the accident, Ms. Azzaro walked from the outside area on Deck Ten into the area where the floor had been waxed and, when she put one foot inside that area slipped and fell causing severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries.
