After the shipwreck of Costa Concordia, sunk near the island of Giglio, in Italy, Codacons, in collaboration with the two U.S. lawfirm Napoli Bern Ripka Shkolnik and Proner Proner LLP, launched a lawsuit in Miami, Florida U.S.A. against Carnival and Costa, aiming to get passengers compensation for all damages.

All passengers, Italians and foreigners, can still participate by filling out the form on the website www.codacons.it at this link: CLICK HERE

ALL THE PASSENGERS WHO WILL SIGN ON THE FORM WILL BE CALLED BY OUR LAWYERS, AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS LAWSUIT WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE OF MONEY The first claim for 39 passengers has been already filed in Miami Court on 27th January with a request of 460 millions of dollars for all damages.

“This is an accident of unprecedented severity – says President Carlo Rienzi – All those who were on board the ship are entitled to be compensated not only for material damage (cost vacation, personal property lost or damaged, and any physical damage), but also to moral ones, such as fear and terror suffered, and the risks related to physical integrity. It is inadmissible, despite the sophisticated equipment on board such vessels, installed in order to avoid clashes aground, that such accidents occur . We hardly think that the compensation of euro 11.000,00 offered is ridiculous and not fair if we consider all the damages and fears suffered by the passengers.”

Obviously, the participation to this action in Miami does not preclude, if that will not be successful, a subsequent class action or individual actions in Italy, and an action for damages based on The Code of Administrative Procedure against the port authorities and other public authorities who have failed the duties controls intended to prevent such serious accident.

Adhering to the action, the passengers could become civil party to the criminal proceeding held in Grosseto, Italy too, in which CODACONS is already established as injured party to claim damages directly to captain Schettino and other officers of the cruise ship.

To help us to clarify the circumstances regarding the evening of the tragic shipwreck all passengers are asked to fill out this form; this request is for all passengers, even those who don’t want to join class action in America because this form will be useful for all proceedings and court cases, and this documentation will be made ​​available to all lawyers who will request to us;
