Costa Concordia owners reject findings of UK medical experts

Survivors of the Costa Concordia cruise-liner disaster are flying back to Italy today, after the ship operator failed to accept the findings of UK medical experts.

Four years on from the capsizing off the Tuscan coast, lawyers for the victims have accused Costa Crociere SpA of adding to distress by delaying proceedings.

The liner was carrying 4,200 people when it wrecked on January 13, 2012, killing 32 people. The cruise line also still refuses to admit liability or pay damages to injured passengers taking proceedings in Italy.
