Triumph passengers file class-action lawsuit against Carnival – Rene Marsh reports

FROM CNN WIRES

(CNN) - A class action lawsuit has been filed against Carnival Corporation surrounding the events that crippled the cruise ship Triumph in the Gulf of Mexico.

Filing on behalf of other passengers, Matt and Melissa Crusan of Oklahoma alleged in their lawsuit that "Carnival knew or should have known that the vessel Triumph was likely to experience mechanical and/or engine issues because of prior similar issues," the court filing said.

The lawsuit alleged that conditions on the ship "created a severe risk of injury, illness and/or disease."

The case was filed this week in U.S. District Court in the southern district of Florida.

Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said: "We are unable to comment on pending litigation."

This morning on "Early Start," Rene Marsh reports on the latest in the lawsuit.
