"A Miami-Dade County jury agreed with the 45-year-old this month, holding Carnival 60% responsible for negligence and delivering Sanders a $300,000 verdict."
"Sanders was said to be 'slurring her speech, had alcohol on her breath and was acting belligerent while she was in plain view of the crew members serving her.'"
"'It felt amazing,' Sanders said of the win. 'So, I was really happy when I saw the jury of my peers and I felt like the whole time they saw right through what the defense was trying to do.'"
Diana Sanders, a nurse from Vacaville, sued Carnival Corp. for negligence after consuming 14 to 15 alcoholic beverages during a cruise. She fell and sustained severe injuries after being overserved. A jury found Carnival 60% responsible for her injuries, awarding her $300,000. Sanders reported feeling vindicated by the jury's decision, stating they recognized the defense's attempts to defame her character. The lawsuit detailed her visible intoxication, including slurred speech and belligerent behavior, while crew members continued to serve her drinks.
