Accidents on the high seas can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities. In the event that a personal injury accident takes place while on a cruise ship, it is imperative for victims to know they have options and are entitled to seek legal help.

Cruise accidents can include slip/trip and falls, door slams, assault and battery by passengers and/or crewmembers, going overboard, and medical negligence. It also includes incidents that occur during shore excursions and accidents incurred while going ashore. Often, it can be difficult to document incidents when they occur at sea, but filing a case with a cruse accident lawyer is key to ensuring you and your loved ones obtain the damages you are rightfully entitled to for your pain and suffering.
While a vast majority of cruise ship accidents are the direct result of someone’s negligence or malicious intent, cruise lines aren’t always forthcoming about their mistakes. There are specific protocols that must be followed following an injury at sea and it is up to the cruise line to make sure the appropriate medical attention is provided for victims. Whether the injured person is a passenger or crewmember, cruise lines must afford care to the victim within a reasonable amount of time to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual. If they do not, they can be held entirely accountable for any subsequent complications that result from lack of medical attention or prompt and proper care.
Unfortunately, navigating the system following a cruise incident can be difficult and confusing – even for lawyers. Cruise lines try to evade taking responsibility for cruise ship accidents and include specific fine print on cruise tickets or within an employee contract to try and limit the time in which a claim must be filed, the location of where the claim must be filed, and the amount of compensation to those who are injured or killed in a cruise ship accident.
