They are also asking the court to award them compensatory damages, consequential and special damages in an amount to be proven at trial, and costs of suit.
According to the complaint, on Feb. 16, 2008, the 10-year-old child traveled with her mother to Saipan for the Chinese New Year and stayed at the Saipan World Resort as guests.
The plaintiffs said while at the hotel’s water park, the child suffered an accident which caused her to suffer bodily injury and personal injury which includes, but not limited to, a fractured coccyx.
The plaintiffs are claiming relief against the hotel for “utilizing a negligent and defective design of the water park, and failing to provide adequate notice or warning signs of the water park’s hazards.”
The plaintiffs said that the defendant’s “negligence was the proximate cause of the child’s injuries, pain and other damages.”
The plaintiffs said the child’s injury caused her pain and suffering and extreme discomfort.
Because of the incident, their vacation ended prematurely and they had to return to China, the complaint stated.
As a result of the incident, the plaintiffs said they incurred medical expenses and other payments and were deprived of their child’s companionship, causing them to suffer harm.
