Victor Buchholz's hand was trapped in the door of his cabin when the Queen of the West ship collided with a dock in The Dulles, Oregon.
A Louisiana man is suing a cruise line based in Connecticut after being injured during a vacation, when the ship he was traveling on crashed into a dock.
Buchholz's lawsuit alleged that as the ship docked in The Dulles, Oregon, on June 6, he was leaving his cabin when the metal door"unexpectedly slammed shut for reasons which include but are not limited to the collision of the vessel with the dock." The door allegedly closed on Buchholz's right thumb, causing"partial amputation."
The lawsuit, filed on May 30, is claiming $300,000 in compensation. The injured passenger is demanding this figure based on the pain suffered from the immediate thumb injury as well as"mental anguish, sustained disfigurement, disability, aggravation of preexisting injuries and the inability to lead a normal life."request for comment on the incident.
