56-year-old Jim Hausman from the United States achieved large compensation after during the cruise in 2011 he was hit by an automatic sliding door. However, the trial received an unexpected turn. This is written by unilad.

The incident occurred on board the Holland America cruise airliner. The cameras recorded how the door suddenly slammed shut, hitting the man in the head. Initially, the blow seemed insignificant, and Hausman and his wife continued the journey, but later he began serious health problems.

The wife of the victim said that after the injury, Hausmann had mood swings, irritability, and then seizures. He filed a lawsuit against a cruise company, claiming that the incident destroyed his life.

The federal jury in the state of Washington awarded a man $ 21.5 million. However, Later Judge Barbara Rothstein annulled this decision and appointed a re -trial.

Information caused doubts from the former assistant Hausman, Amy Miser. She stated that the man deliberately deleted emails that could harm his work. It also turned out that he hid the existence of one of his mailboxes.

The judge called Hausman a evasive and not deserving witness, noting that he used his brain injury when it was beneficial to him.

The publication notes that it is still unclear when a new court hearing takes place.

Focus previously reported that a free cruise cost a man $ 47 thousand. Mike Cameron and his friend Tamra Masterman won a sea walk, for which they did not have to pay. A few days after the start of the trip, the man felt poorly and asked medical help, which cost him dearly.

It also became known that the tourist was left without underwear during the trip. Gabby Morgan said that unknown people stole her refrigerator with food and alcoholic beverages, as well as personal items. As a result of this unpleasant incident, a woman incurred losses worth more than $ 400.
