A crew member has sued Holland America after he says he was left paralyzed after the bathroom of his cabin aboard the ship.

Rafael De Jesus Rincones Bohorquez, who is from Colombia, filed his complaint in federal court against Holland America Line, International Cruise Shops Ltd. and Starboard Cruise Services Inc.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff was working on the cruise ship Zuiderdam on August 18, 2022, when he entered the cabin bathroom after showering and dressing. When he did so, he slipped and fell because of water on the floor. He struck his lower back on the toilet and felt an immediate electric shock shoot up and down his spine and throughout his body. He lost consciousness, possible striking his head as well. His cabinmate later found him unconscious on the floor and called for medical attention.
