Defense Victory in Cruise Ship Passenger Injury Trial

Andrew Craven and Kimberly Mason obtained a defense verdict on behalf of Chartwell’s client, a major cruise line, in a case where the plaintiff alleged injuries, including the insertion of hardware in her leg and the potential need for a hip replacement, following a fall from a scooter. The plaintiff claimed that a crewmember's actions caused the scooter to move while she was dismounting, leading to her fall, and argued that the client was vicariously liable. After a four-day trial, the jury found entirely in favor of the defense.
