Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel Lawyers
Obtain Summary Judgment in Jones Act Case Which is Affirmed by the
Third District Court of Appeals on Appeal.
Liaugminaite v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd.
903 So.2d 298 Fla.App. 3
Dist.,2005. Lolita
Liaugminaite was a cabin attendant
who claimed that she suffered back and related injuries as a
result of repetitive luggage lifting over a five-year period leading
up to April 2000 and a fall from her top bunk bed on
April 23, 2002.
The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed summary judgment in Royal
Caribbean’s favor, finding Lolita’s luggage-lifting claims time
barred. This case was particularly significant since there were no
cases on point in our jurisdiction, and thus, the case raised an issue
of first impression in our courts.
