Seek Legal Counsel After a Macedonia Cruise Ship Accident
Macedonia is one of the most coveted places to visit in Europe. The Balkan nation is nestled between a bevy of beautiful mountains and lakes, and boasts an incredible history that many cruise travelers are eager to discover. Between the medieval townscapes, ancient Ottoman architecture, and scenic views – not to mention close proximity to Greece and Turkey – it’s no wonder that several cruise lines call on Macedonia.
But while travelers who plan on cruising to Macedonia may think that they are going to enjoy a smooth sailing, unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned. Cruise ship accidents can occur at a moment’s notice, often leaving passengers with injuries that cannot be treated with the minimal resources available at a ship infirmary’s disposal. There are also times when cruise passengers sustain injuries ashore that require hospitalization at a local medical facility. Though many cruisers might think that having health insurance will be enough to cover the costs, in reality, medical expenses incurred in foreign countries may not be covered by U.S.-based insurance providers. What’s worse, cruise lines may try to avoid taking responsibility for any accidents that occur during an itinerary and will likely refuse to compensate victims for their out-of-pocket expenses, pain, and suffering.
Fortunately, anyone who has been the victim of a cruise ship accident in Macedonia has a right to seek legal counsel. Whether you are a passenger or crew member who was hurt aboard a cruise ship, suffered an offshore accident, or were the victim of a crime, you may be eligible to file a cruise injury claim, and our firm can help.

Are You a Victim of a Maritime Accident In Macedonia?
You May Be Eligible to File a Claim
Cruise ship accidents can range in degree and severity. Sometimes, passengers suffer an injury aboard a vessel, while other times, they may get hurt during a shore excursion ashore. Regardless of the type of incident, it is imperative to understand that you have rights. Under maritime law, cruise lines have a responsibility to reasonably protect both cruise passengers and crew members from harm. And this responsibility isn’t limited to the confines of a ship. Cruise lines must also take reasonable steps that any shore excursions they promote are run by experienced and trustworthy tour operators who also abide by the highest standards in safety.
When dealing with injuries and accidents that occur overseas, jurisdiction and international maritime statutes play a huge role in determining how a case is handled. Because these laws can be extremely complex, it is important that victims and their loved ones seek legal counsel with an attorney that specializes in international maritime claims. Our firm has successfully handled a variety of cruise injury cases as well as other types of maritime claims, including, but not limited to:
- Cargo vessel collisions
- Boating accidents
- Jet Ski accidents
- Shore excursion accidents
- Cruise ship sexual assault cases
- Crew member injuries – and more!
