SECURE YOUR COMPENSATION
Cruise to Compensation: Let Our Experienced Lawyers Help You Navigate Your Cruise Ship Injury Claim
Our team of experienced cruise ship accident and injury lawyers possess in-depth knowledge of the unique aspects of cruise ship injury claims, and have successfully handled cases against various cruise lines and ships across the country. Cruise ship accidents can result from various factors, and it is possible to sue both the responsible individual and the cruise ship company, which is subject to common carrier liability. To determine the available damages, it is essential to review the ticket contract with your lawyer, as compensation can include medical bills, lost property, pain and suffering, and more. The type of evidence required for your case depends on where and how the accident occurred, as many cruise ship lawsuits fall under maritime law and must be filed in federal court. Regardless of whether your claim is subject to Florida, federal maritime, or international law, our skilled cruise ship accident and injury lawyers are well-equipped to handle even the most complex cases.
Setting Sail for Justice: Hold Boating and Cruise Lines Accountable for Your Injuries with Our Skilled Legal Team
Cruise ships, some of the world’s largest vessels, resemble floating cities with amenities such as restaurants, entertainment venues, social spaces, and more, making them prone to similar risks as those on land. The responsibility of ensuring passengers’ safety primarily rests with the cruise line and the ship’s staff and crew. Failure to fulfill this duty can lead to severe injuries, which include slip and fall accidents, falls from broken or loose handrails, trip and fall accidents, food poisoning, and illnesses. Additionally, injuries caused by violence and sexual assault by other passengers or crewmembers are unacceptable and often subject to claims against the cruise line. As passenger safety is the staff’s responsibility, negligence in providing adequate security or causing physical harm is unacceptable.
Cruise ship accidents commonly involve injuries similar to those on land, such as falls, broken bones, assault, battery, and food poisoning. However, severe injuries, including death or injury from falling overboard, shipboard fires, or catastrophic events, may also occur. Passengers and their loved ones may be entitled to file lawsuits to seek damages from the cruise ship and other responsible parties, such as medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, wrongful death, and more. The care received onboard may only provide minimal first aid, and additional treatment may require seeking medical attention in a foreign hospital or waiting until returning home. The cruise company should be responsible for the economic harm suffered by the passenger or their family resulting from their injury, and pain and suffering damages are harder to prove but can be substantial. A cruise ship accident and injury lawyer can help analyze the value of your lawsuit and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
