Royal Caribbean Faces $75K Lawsuit Over Passenger's Injury from Mobility Scooter Incident
A Florida woman, Colleen Parson, is suing Royal Caribbean for $75,000 after tripping over a mobility scooter on the cruise ship Jewel of the Seas. The incident occurred in June 2025 while Parson was navigating a crowded casino area on the ship. According to the lawsuit, another passenger bumped into Parson, causing her to fall over the scooter, which was parked near gaming tables. The fall resulted in a serious wrist injury, specifically a comminuted intraarticular fracture of the distal radius, necessitating surgery. Parson's lawsuit accuses Royal Caribbean of negligence, claiming the cruise line failed to warn passengers of the hazard and did not enforce proper safety protocols for mobility scooters. Royal Caribbean, however, denies any wrongdoing, arguing that the hazard was obvious and that Parson should have been more aware of her surroundings.
