Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer

Cruise ships are the vacation of choice for thousands of Americans. Unfortunately when passengers are out on the sea, anything can happen. Bad weather, flu outbreaks, food poisoning and mechanical issues can often leave passengers injured, sick and stranded.

Cruise ship accidents can lead to injuries and in some cases life-threatening situations. If you or a loved one has been injured due to another individual’s negligence while on a cruise, the victim may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

Causes of Cruise Ship Injuries

In the interest of passenger safety, the cruising industry is heavily regulated. The protocols cover various aspects of cruising including ship design, operations, and the safety and security of passengers and the ship’s crew.

Cruise lines are also typically inspected for lifesaving equipment, firefighting systems, as well as crew training and competence in regular, routine inspections that are designed to help identify, and correct, any potential issues.

Despite such regulations, passengers may still suffer injuries, illnesses and inconveniences caused by:

Duty of Care

Cruise ships are considered a common carrier, which means they are subject to special laws and regulations. Unlike injuries on land, injury claims on a cruise ship may be subject to admiralty law and the cruise line will be held liable for passenger injuries caused by negligence or willful actions.

Cruise lines must exercise the highest degree of care to protect passengers from harm from the time the ship leaves port until its return.

If a passenger suffers an injury or illness, a claim may be filed against the owner of the ship, the company that sold the ticket, or a third party.

If you are unsure of who should be held liable after you or a loved one was injured, one of our experienced cruise ship injury lawyers can help you. We will examine your claim thoroughly to determine your legal options.

Violence and Crime

Cruise ship lines have a duty to provide safe transportation, including the protection against violence and crime. Missing persons have become a growing problem aboard cruise lines. Unfortunately, these families may never receive the justice they deserve after the unexpected loss of a loved one.

For the safety of passengers and crew members, a cruise line should be responsible for the installation and operation of security cards, running background checks on employees, hiring adequate security, lighting public areas, and having secure locks on all guest rooms.

When a cruise line fails to protect passengers and employees from harm, they can be held liable for the victim’s damages.
