Man suing Carnival cruise lines for $5 million - Pool deck was too hot, burned feet

A Florida man is suing Carnival Corporation for $5 million, alleging he suffered severe second-degree burns to his feet after walking barefoot on a hot pool deck aboard the Carnival Magic last year, according to a newly filed lawsuit obtained by ABC News.
quote:
Jorge Luis Alverio Nunez filed the complaint in the Southern District of Florida earlier this month, claiming he was injured while vacationing aboard the cruise ship in May 2025.
The lawsuit claims Nunez was on the ship's lido deck near the pool area when he walked barefoot about 20 steps from the pool back to his chair to put on his shoes.
The suit claims the deck surface had become "unreasonably and dangerously hot," and allegedly caused Nunez to suffer second-degree burns to both of his feet.

The complaint states that the decks in question were constructed with API Syntheteak polyresin material. It alleges Carnival received information from the manufacturer dating back to 2014 about the material's ability to become dangerously hot.

Sounds like he should have brought his flip flops.

The suit alleges at least 25 passengers suffered burns on Carnival cruise ship decks between 2019 and 2025, while at least 42 others complained about excessively hot decks or burned feet.

There's no way anyone on a Carnival cruise could accrue lost wages to get anywhere near that number so i guess they're going for the pain and suffering route.

“ Jorge Luis Alverio Nunez”
“A Florida man”
Yeah, something ain’t right about that.

I guess it’s too common sense to splash water ahead of you and run the 10 yards to your shoes like I had enough sense to do at the pool when I was 8 years old

And he got roughed up by a sister in the crab leg serving line. Additionally he accused Carnival Cruise Lines of being raciss.

My buddy was on a civil trial jury selection where the plaintiff had lost a hand at a plant. He was suing for $100 million. In response to a question from the lawyer my buddy said he thought that was too much. The plaintiff lawyer jumped all over him about it and said sarcastically “how much do you think a hand is worth???” He came back and said “I don’t know but not that damn much.” He was quickly excused.

Filed away for future use...

This is fine with me. Carnival goes in the dirt for the dregs, let them pay the dregs out. None of this should be new.

He should also sue the sun! And also God for making the sun!

should have asked the insurance company, they put an exact value on a hand

He’s from Florida. He should know better. I would imagine he deals with hot pavement and sand all the time.

I remember thinking the dear old lady who got scoulded by McDonalds coffee was just fishing for a settlement....until I saw the facts of the case. They owed that poor woman every sent of that multi-million dollar settlement.

I would've asked if he's married and which hand is it. If he's married and right-handed, and lost his right hand, that hand was priceless.
I'd give him whatever the lawyer was asking for.

Lawsuits like this are why cruises flag out of other countries and makes legitimate negligent claims so difficult.
