The victims of a 2003 Norwegian Cruise Line accident will be collectively recieving more than $13 million after a court ordered the cruise line to compensate the injured and the families of the 8 workers who died in the accident.
In 2003, a boiler on one of the cruise ships exploded, causing the death of 8 workers and injuring 10 others.
In addition to the $13 million in restitution, the cruise line was also ordered by a federal judge to pay a $1 million fine.
The accident occurred in May of 2003 while the SS Norway was at the Port of Miami-Dade. One of the 4 boilers on the ship unexpectedly exploded, sending dangerously hot steam and oil through parts of the ship. The workers that lost their lives in the accident suffered from severe burns caused by the steam and oil.
If you have been injured while on a cruise ship, contact the admiralty attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 1-866-950-9000 to learn more about your legal rights.
