Cruise Ship Accidents

Cruise lines entice tourists with exotic destinations and gourmet meals. Their ships allow passengers to conveniently and easily travel to various ports of call.  While the ambience may be memorable for some, it can be anything but magical for those injured aboard.

Cruise lines must protect their passengers during their journey. Accordingly, the ship captain must exercise care when operating the vessel. The cruise line must maintain the condition of ship so that it is not hazardous to passengers.  The cruise line must also train the crew to prevent and respond to onboard accidents.

Passengers on cruise ships can be injured in:

• ship fires;
• collisions with other ships;
• slip and fall accidents; and
• sexual assaults, physical assaults, or other crimes due to inadequate security.

Passengers may suffer broken bones, concussions, food poisoning and burns while on a cruise.  If your injuries occurred because the cruise line or another party was negligent, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

The back of the cruise ticket often contains a legal contract, specifying applicable regulations, rules, and liability information. You should keep your cruise ticket and read this information carefully. Do not talk to a cruise line representative or employee about your cruise line accident without talking to us first.
