Royal Caribbean Faces Negligence Lawsuit Over Toddler's Fall

Grandfather Knew Window Was Open

Court Revives Lawsuit Against Cruise Line

A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit against Royal Caribbean Cruises after the death of an 18-month-old girl who fell from an open window on one of the company's ships. The grandfather of the toddler, who was with her at the time of the incident, knew that the window was open, according to court documents.

The appeals court ruled that a reasonable juror could find that Royal Caribbean was negligent in its installation, inspection, and maintenance of the window in question. The court noted that the window was located in a public area of the ship and was not properly secured. The court also found that Royal Caribbean had failed to provide adequate warnings about the danger of the window.

The lawsuit seeks damages from Royal Caribbean for the wrongful death of the toddler. The family of the toddler alleges that Royal Caribbean was negligent in its installation, inspection, and maintenance of the window, and that the company failed to provide adequate warnings about the danger of the window.

This case is a reminder of the importance of cruise ship safety. Cruise ships are large, complex vessels with many potential hazards. It is important for cruise lines to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of their passengers.
