Cruise Ship Liability: Baby's Fatal Fall Raises Questions
Grandfather's Account Leads to Court Battle
In a heart-wrenching incident, an Indiana family has been left in shock and mourning after their 18-month-old granddaughter fell to her death from a cruise ship. The incident, which occurred on a Royal Caribbean vessel, has sparked a legal battle between the family and the cruise line over liability for the tragedy.
Motion to Dismiss Denied
Royal Caribbean Cruises recently filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the family, claiming that there was no evidence that the company had notice of any risk-creating condition on the ship. However, a federal court in the Southern District of... denied the motion, allowing the lawsuit to proceed.
Surveillance Video Released
CBS News has obtained surveillance video capturing the final moments before the young girl, Chloe, fell from the cruise ship. The video, which the family has viewed, reportedly shows the toddler standing near a window in a children's play area when she fell out.
