USA Today:  “The cruise world was abuzz Wednesday over the case of Danny Simpson, a British man awarded $9.5 million after being injured in a fall on a cruise ship.  To some observers, it was just another example of a legal system out of control.  The case stems from an incident in 2006. Simpson, a fitness instructor on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Crown, had just finished conducting a fitness class when a woman on a nearby treadmill vomited on the floor. A cleaner was called in to wash the area, but didn’t thoroughly dry it, and when Simpson returned to the area he slipped and severely injured his back.”
