United States v. Teresita Sorrels v. NCL (Bahamas), LTD

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the defendant had notice that a floor was slippery when wet because prior passengers had slipped and the defendant had previously posted a warning
• explaining that substantial similarity determination depends “on the scenario presented and the desired use of the evidence”
• explaining that dissimilarities are insubstantial for the purpose of notice where the similarities still make it reasonably foreseeable that the type of injury would occur
• finding that an expert’s substantial delay in conducting a coefficient of friction test “normally goes to weight and not to admissibility”
• holding that a ship employee’s testimony that the ship would sometimes post a warning sign on the pool deck after it rained was enough to create an issue of material fact on whether there was notice that the deck could be slippery when wet
• declining to consider an argument to exclude expert testimony first raised on appeal during oral argument
