A jury has decided that a woman claiming she was “over served” on a cruise is entitled to far more than a couple of aspirin.
$300,000 to be exact.
A jury found Carnival Cruises liable for Diana Sanders’ injuries from a drunken fall two years ago.
Sanders, 45 claimed she was over-served 14 tequila shots from six bars despite showing obvious signs of intoxication.
The California nurse said she fell after stumbling trying to walk down a set of stairs.
She was allegedly found unconscious at the bottom of a staircase.
Sanders complained of multiple severe injuries, including a concussion, headaches, possible traumatic brain injury and more.
Carnival officials argued that Sanders failed to identify any of the bartenders or bars where she was served.
The jury that awarded Sanders $300,000 decided the cruise line was 60 percent liable, while she was found 40 percent negligent.
Carnival said it plans to appeal the decision.
