Julio J. Ayala of the Crewmember & Maritime Advocacy Center in Coral Gables teamed with Fort Lauderdale solo practitioner Ralph O. Anderson to obtain a $4 million verdict against Magical Cruise Co. Ltd. — better known as Disney Cruise Line — on behalf of a crew member who claimed she received poor medical care from a doctor on board the Disney Dream.

It was the first time the defendant had faced a crew member in a jury trial, according to Ayala.
