Cruise Ship Accident Lawsuits
There are two basic types of cruise ship cases, both of which we handle. The first kind involves boat accidents like:
- Tilting or listing
- Navigation equipment failure
- Human error
- Mechanical error
- Navigational error
- Collisions with other boats
The second type involves premises liability cases, also known as slip and fall. These are cases where there was a danger already present on the ship in which the crew knew about or should have known, and yet there was a failure to correct the problem. These cases include:
- Cruise ship assaults, rapes, or theft
- Falling down stairs
- Swimming pool accidents
- Gangway accidents
- Falling overboard
If you are hurt on a cruise ship
Save your ticket. The contract between you and the company is printed on the back. It details where and when you can bring a lawsuit.
If you are injured, see the ship's doctor. Also, get a second opinion when you get home.
Document everything. Take photos of the changes in the ship and your injuries, if any.
Obtain a written copy of the incident or accident report.
Contact a lawyer immediately. The time in which you can pursue your claim is limited. Once the statute of limitations has run out, you will not be able to recover any damages.
