CALIFORNIA – Multiple lawsuits are being filed against Princess Cruise Lines over a COVID-19 outbreak, including a lawsuit brought by San Antonio lawyer Mikal Watts, a partner at Watts Guerra.
The lawsuits are being filed in the U.S. District of California, Central District, and seek millions of dollars.
The plaintiffs are passengers who boarded Princess’s Grand Princess cruise ship on Feb. 21.
Watts’ suit blames the cruise line for its “lackadaisical approach” to ensuring the safety of passengers.
“It would only stand to reason, having experienced such a traumatic outbreak on board one of its vessels less than a month prior to plaintiffs’ voyage on board the Grand Princess, that Princess would have learned to take all necessary precautions to keep its passengers, crew, and the general public safe,” the complaint says. “Unfortunately, Princess did no such thing.”
