Couple sues hotel over daughter’s injuries

Posted on Jan 05 2009

A Chinese couple filed yesterday a lawsuit in federal court against the owner of Saipan World Resort in Susupe over the alleged injuries suffered by their daughter at the hotel’s waterpark last year.

Zhi Meng Liu and Rong Zhang asked the U.S. District Court for the NMI to order World Corp. to pay them damages and court costs.

The plaintiffs, through counsel G. Anthony Long, sued World Corp. for negligence.

Long stated in the complaint that on Feb. 16, 2008, Mrs. Zhang was with her 10-year-old daughter on Saipan for the Chinese New Year.

At that time, Zhang and her daughter were guests at Saipan World Resort.

On that day, while the daughter was playing at the waterpark, she had an accident that caused her to “suffer bodily and personal injuries.”

“Because of the bodily injury and personal harm suffered [by the child] at the waterpark, her vacation on Saipan ended prematurely and she returned to China,” Long said.

The lawyer said the defendant failed to provide adequate notice of warnings of the park’s hazards.
