Miami maritime injury lawyer Brett A. Rivkind has filed a federal lawsuit against Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. on behalf of a man whose harness failed when he took part in an onboard bungee trampoline activity that sent him plummeting onto the deck floor.

The 20-foot drop could have killed then-Florida resident Casey Holladay, 25, who suffered serious, permanent injuries and had plates and screws inserted around his pelvis, according to the complaint.
