Title: Incontinent and impotent after fall in cruise ship spa is worth $9.5 million
Post by: CEO on 01/June/2011
In 2006, British Fitness instructor Danny Simpson slipped on the wet floor of the spa on board the Norwegian Cruise line's "Norwegian Crown". Mr. Simpson was employed by Steiner Transocean, responsible for operating the spa facilities on the cruise line.

When he fell, he suffered a back injury that made him impotent and incontinent. And apparently, that kind of suffering is worth $9.5 million. The defendant is obviously not content with the ruling, and has already filed papers seeking a new trial, or a reduction of the award.

Sadly, not much is known about the incident itself - whether the floor was not supposed to be wet, or whether the spa operator failed to ensure wet floors were made slip free. But if a court is willing to award just under ten million Dollars, I suspect someone screwed up enough to warrant that kind of cash.

The damages were awarded to cover his economic losses, medical expenses and future pain and suffering. Nine and a half million Dollars gets you heck of a lot of Viagra and adult diapers.

Ni devet i po miliona nije vredno...

Nije ni 20 što se mene tiče, ali nije u tome poanta.
Kakvu bi oštetu dobio da se oklizneš i padneš recimo na Beogradskom aerodromu? Ili u pekari? Ili kod frizera?

Drugo. Kako se točno dokazuje impotencija usljed okliznuća i pada na pod?

Ovi advokati su za mene vrhunski profesionalci. Porota je vijećala svega 40 minuta.

Pošto sam za Princess osobno mjerio klizavost podova, specijalnom mašinom, znam koliko kompanije posvećuju pažnju na prevenciju ovakvih događaja.

Sefe, kompanije posvecuju paznju svemu pored ostalog i zbog takvih profesionalaca koji mogu da izvuku neverovatne cifre.. a mozda i ugroze ugled kompanije..
naravno to je u americkom pravnom sistemu i anglosaksonskom pravu... ovde to ipak ide malo drugacije - ko ima vise para i uticaja on je u pravu  :pop:
