Thirty-nine survivors of the Costa Concordia cruise ship that capsized off Italy last month filed an amended lawsuit in Florida state court Tuesday seeking more than half a billion dollars in damages.
The suit filed against Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines Inc., and its subsidiary Costa Cruise Line -- which owns the Costa Concordia -- seeks $78 million in damages and $450 million in punitive damages.
The defendants "acted in a severely reckless and willful, wanton manner, with complete disregard for the safety, lives and well being of the plaintiffs," said Marc Bern, a lawyer representing the passengers.
