Cruise Line sued for $460 Billion by the Cruise Survivors
Luxury cruise ship runs aground; passengers on wrecked ship are offered $14,460!
The Guardian informs: Calling an preliminary reimbursement offer “impertinent,” an attorney representing Costa Concordia passengers declared on Tuesday particulars of a $460 million class-action claim against the proprietor of the wrecked cruise ship. Also, Mitchell Proner- a New York-based personal injury attorney said his firm of Proner & Proner, along with a partnership of international lawyers, is representing more than 500 passengers.
As per the Guardian, he declared particulars of the civil lawsuit filed in Florida on Tuesday during a press conference in Genoa, Italy. He said that Costa Cruise Lines’ former offer of $14,460 to passengers for lost baggage and psychological trauma “insulting.” Proner further said, “They must be held accountable for what they did. They deliberately put the passengers at peril. We suppose we can win the case in Florida and we are going to go ahead, ahead, ahead without any panic until they don't know what thump them … kind of like the Concordia.”
According to the Association Press, ‘Italian emergency and crisis officers say they are calling off an investigate for missing people in the sunken part of the Costa Concordia cruise ship, due to the threat to rescue workers’. The Concordia ran stranded off the island of Giglio on Jan. 13 when the captain diverged from his planned direction and struck a rock, creating a huge slash that capsized the ship.
Finally, NBC news said, ‘The cruise line is allowing for bids for the ship's removal and is anticipated to make a conclusion based on process and expenditure in 2 months’. Also the final removal of the ship can take some ten to twelve months.
