Default Court Rejects Cruise Ship Blast Claims !!!

Seems reasonable since the PI is the declared home domicile and where
the contracts were initiated. Prevailing wage and benefits should be
the same as legal residence. Otherwise, in the case of an American
working for a company in Haiti would only be able to sue for an
amount equal to what an Haitian earns which of course is a few
hundred dollars per year. I know that is an extreme example but you
should get my drift. Hopefully.



The "extreme" example is what actually happened. Some poor third world
working stiffs were killed on the job and the best the cruise lines can
do for their families is hide behind the lawyers. Keep in mind if a pax
meets such an unfortunate fate, their family will have the same legal
hill to climb. Foregn company operating in international waters. Lotsa
luck.
