While a concerted effort by cruise ship accident attorney and advocates continues, there are thus far 11 confirmed dead as a result of the Costa Concordia cruise ship accident. Litigation in both the United States and Italy is anticipated as a result of the accident. The issue of where each lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Lines and Costa Cruises should be filed continues to be analyzed by attorneys. It is clear that several different venues, including the United States and Italy, will see lawsuits and claims filed. Because the captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship may have manslaughter charges brought against him, punitive damages for willful and reckless operation of the Costa Concordia ship are expected.
