The slip and fall occurred on the ship's Lido deck.  The accident, unfortunately, resulted in a rotator cuff tear requiring surgery.  Representing several cruise passengers throughout the years, we at BBRC have noticed several slip and falls on the Lido decks within Carnival's fleet.  We believe the reason for these accidents is simple.  Carnival Cruise Lines just does not properly maintain the non-skid properties of these decks.  When the decks are first laid down, they may be reasonably safe.  But after cruise upon cruise that sees thousands of people walking on the decks daily, these safety features break down leaving the decks smooth and slippery.  This, combined with the inherent wetness from people leaving the nearby pools, is a recipe for disaster.  Unfortunately, the paying passenger suffers from Carnival's negligence.  If you suffered a slip and fall on the Elation or any other Carnival cruise ship Lido deck and would like to learn more about your rights, feel free to contact our multiple Maritime Board Certified Attorneys for a free consultation.  Remember, Carnival's cruise ticket requires you to provide special written notice of your claim within six months of your accident and requires you to bring a lawsuit in Miami Federal Court within one year.  We at BBRC will be happy to walk you through your options and provide you with an honest and straightforward evaluation of your claim.
